SNP MP faces fraud charges

MP Natalie McGarry has been charged in connection with fraud allegations after being interviewed by police.

The MP, who represents Glasgow East, voluntarily attended a police station yesterday.

It is understood the alleged offences are linked to her involvement with the group Women For Independence, which was set up in the run-up to the 2014 Scottish referendum, and with the SNP’s Glasgow Regional Association.

The amount of money allegedly involved is a five-figure sum, according to sources.
