New Sexual Assault Allegation Emerges Against Late Alex Salmond

Police Scotland is assessing a 'non-recent' report of sexual assault against the former Scottish First Minister, who passed away last month.

Alex Salmond, who died of a heart attack last month, faces a new allegation of sexual assault reported to Police Scotland.
The allegation is described as 'non-recent' and was filed after Salmond's death during a visit to North Macedonia.
Salmond, former leader of the Alba Party, was previously cleared of multiple sexual misconduct charges in 2020.
The Alba Party has dismissed the new claims as 'smears' and called for Salmond to be allowed to 'rest in peace'.
The SNP has been asked about past complaints against Salmond, but disciplinary actions are limited to current members.
