15 things that took less time than Operation Branchform.
OF COURSE it's political. Police Scotland and the COPFS are complicit in keeping this minor investigation going till the 2026 Scottish election.
This is an affront to democracy that would shame a banana Republic.

The Nuremberg trials began 1946, to convict soldiers on worst war crimes in history, completed 3 years later, in 1949.
Operation Branchform, began 2021, to find missing £600,000 from SNP’s accounts. Four years on … nowhere!
@policescotland.bsky.social and COPFS are a laughing stock!

anyway i thought the CIA paid Nicola Sturgeon to instruct the COPFS to arrest Alex Salmond on trumped-up chargers to undermine the independence movement, or did he have to abandon that when it became too ridiculous, even for him to claim that COPFS was under Sturgeon’s control?

The cost to Police Scotland of Operation Branchform, the state persecution of Nicola Sturgeon in order to disrupt and damage the Scottish independence campaign, is now over £2.1M

There must be an enquiry into why COPFS gave the bbc an interview on the reasons why no charges were preferred against Nicola Sturgeon
This was an act of Gross Misconduct, to discuss their decision on any innocent, private individual other than with the Courts, the individual, or their lawyer

I think the Bathgate born Aberdeen fan living in Bath (BABy) known for his potty-mouth is about to find out what the phrase ‘a report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal’ means.
COPFS has final say in whether it is in the public interest to prosecute, or not.
Who’s funding his legal action?

Operation Branchform:four years:£2.2 million police costs:£206,000 COPFS costs..."the Crown does not publicly share details of confidential cases where there are no proceedings in court "....in other words they had zilch on Nicola Sturgeon & Colin Beattie so dropped the investigation.

Expecting an easy hit, Unionist Party standard of corruption and finding nothing shook them. In a corner with no pot to piss in. They commenced a fishing expedition as they admitted that the enquiry had gone beyond original remit

In contrast to tabloid commentary, section 4 of Prosecution Code 🏴 on 'The public interest' sets out important factors that guide COPFS decisions on whether to prosecute or not. It includes impact on victims. A high prison population is only one factor among several.

Excellent thread for the layperson regarding bringing a prosecution to court.
Particularly pertinent with regard to the Scot Police and COPFS investigation into the SNP Finances
Another factor, SNP Donors are on record that they will give evidence that funds were spent within the remit they donated

I see that a collection of MPs have taken it upon themselves to “launch” a private prosecution, in relation to a case which is still awaiting a CPS charging decision.
