Yes Scotland has handed its full accounts to Police Scotland following a complaint alleging that more than £1.5 million in income went unaccounted for. The pro-independence campaign group voluntarily provided records covering 2013, 2014 and 2015 to authorities.
The complaint was lodged by David Henry, who claims a significant sum of donations cannot be traced. Aamer Anwar, solicitor for former Yes Scotland chief executive Blair Jenkins, dismissed the allegations as false, stating all income has been properly accounted for. Anwar also denied that Peter Murrell ever had access to the organisation's finances.
During the 2014 independence referendum campaign, Yes Scotland reported receiving over £2.6 million in donations and spending more than £1.4 million, according to Electoral Commission filings. Published dormant accounts showed a year-end surplus of £878,978 in 2013, with subsequent accounts showing a zero balance.
