Police take no action over Alex Salmond complaint

Police Scotland has investigated an allegation of historical sexual assault against the former first minister, Alex Salmond. The investigation was prompted by a complaint made to the police. However, after a thorough investigation, the police have decided to take no further action in the case. The details of the complaint and the investigation have not been publicly disclosed, as is standard practice in such cases. The decision not to pursue the case further suggests that the police did not find sufficient evidence to support the allegation. The former first minister has not commented publicly on the matter. This development comes amid ongoing political tensions and a high-profile trial involving Salmond, which has been the subject of extensive media coverage.
