Summary
Police Scotland said inquiries are ongoing after a complaint alleged more than £1.5 million in Yes Scotland income cannot be accounted for.
David Henry told the Sunday Mail the pro-independence campaign company's accounts later showed a zero balance, with £1.5 million recorded earlier appearing to have disappeared.
Yes Scotland Ltd, set up by former first minister Alex Salmond and inactive since 2014, filed dormant accounts last year showing a zero balance; the SNP said it was a separate organisation.
The complaint lands after former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell was jailed for more than five years for embezzling over £400,000, prompting opposition calls for a wider financial audit and inquiry.
