Salmond denied any wrongdoing and later claimed Sturgeon’s new policies were designed to target him. He accused Sturgeon of breaking the ministerial code after she told a parliamentary inquiry she had learned of the sexual misconduct allegations in April 2018, which she later said she had discussed on March 29 with Salmond’s aide Geoff Aberdein but had forgotten about.Salmond was arrested in January 2019 and charged with 14 counts of sexual assault. One was dropped and he was acquitted of 12 other charges of attempted rape, sexual assault and indecent assault.
His wife Moira, sister Gail and acting Alba Party leader Kenny MacAskill were at Aberdeen Airport to greet the coffin while a piper played Freedom Come All Ye as it was transported from the plane.
