Alex Salmond cleared of historic sex assault claim as police end probe after his death
Details of the allegations emerged after Mr Salmond died last October CASE CLOSED Alex Salmond cleared of historic sex assault claim as police end probe after his death Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ALEX Salmond has been cleared over a historic sexual assault claim made against him. The late former first minister passed away aged 69 on October 12 last year while attending a conference in North Macedonia. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Police have dropped a probe after a sexual assault complaint was made against Alex Salmond Credit: Getty 2 The ex-first minister was cleared in March 2020 after facing 14 charges, mostly of alleged sexual assault Credit: Reuters Following his death, cops received a complaint of an alleged sexual assault. Last November, a Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We can confirm that we have received a report of a non-recent sexual assault. The information is being assessed.' But following a probe, officers have said that "no further action will be taken". Mr Salmond became embroiled in claims of sexual assault, contributing to a fallout between him and Nicola Sturgeon. In January 2018, the Scottish Government received two internal complaints of alleged sexual misconduct against the former SNP leader. The claims dated back to his time as First Minister, from 2007 until 2014. The allegations led to an internal investigation and two months later, he was told of the complaints and the ongoing probe. In August that year, Mr Salmond refuted the allegations and revealed his plans to launch a judicial review against the Scottish Government over its handling of the complaints process. He also withdrew his long-running membership of the SNP. In January 2019, the Scottish Government admitted that it had breached its own guidelines, with judges ruling its probe into the complaints was "unlawful" and "tainted with apparent bias". Two hikers seriously injured after plunging from cliff at Scots beauty spot Mr Salmond was awarded more than £500,000 in legal expenses but later that month he was arrested and charged. He appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, where he faced 14 charges, including two counts of alleged attempted rage and nine counts of alleged sexual assault. Mr Salmond denied all the allegations against him and announced he would "defend myself to the utmost". The high-profile trial got underway at the High Court in Edinburgh in March 2020. After 11 days, Mr Salmond was cleared as the jury found him not guilty over the 12 sexual assault charges and the other was found not proven. One sexual assault charge was also dropped by the Crown. Following the trial, Mr Salmond and his legal team raised concerns about evidence given under oath, leading to a police and Crown Office probe into potential perjury, which remains ongoing. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'Following a report of a non-recent sexual assault, enquiries were carried out and no further action will be taken."
