Leave the whole case open until next year, GE 2024, Jim? How politically convenient that would be in keeping an open case stigmatising an anti-Union political enemy/party called the SNP while realising there are no charges to bear on either of them or the treasurer. Over two and a half years since this whole accounting issue arose and the ex-Chief Constable's (Ian Livingstone) recent defensive comments re the lengthy period of Police investigation and the use of a "murder tent" in the front garden to protect the parties under investigation are highly suspicious. Meanwhile the Tories/Brit govt have been allowed to get away with a huge list of historical financial violations that are far bigger than this small-fry one against the SNP where the colluding media and BBC up here cover the "bad SNP" crusade far differently than they do re similar issues in England or Wales. The £37B misspent on test n trace, the PPE scandal, the Tory donors' scandal, Sunak's £7.3B tax cuts to the financial sector and then allowing the polluters in the fossil fuel industry to drill for more poison in the North Sea. Remember, this was the same oil and gas that we Scots were told was running out by these Unionist liars in Scotref year 2014!!!!! And more recently, note the Infrastructure Project Authority (IPA) has branded HS2 delivery dates for the first two phases as UNACHIEVABLE!!! This is not a financially insignificant project - it is costing upwards of £100B. From the original cost of £55B btw!!! The IPA is the UK's centre of expertise in infrastructure project management - they know what they are talking about!!! The funding for this project will be taken from the broad shoulders of HM Treasury. "Taken from monthly revenue", one may ask? No, not normally. The projects' monies are taken from long-term borrowings of government bonds, counted as govt debt and guess what? We all pay for it!! Yep, England, Scotland and Welsh taxpayers pay for it!! The Bank of England sets interest rates to attract these bond sales, to fund these debts!! Yes, based on Bank of England base rates! 
So with interest rate rises, we all suffer from at risk projects like this one. Any others? I'd add Hinckley Point, Sizewell C Nuclear Plants plus the Ajax military vehicles to name three. I won't get started on Trident, WMDs that the Scot population is unanimously against being utilised in Bella Caledonia. And yet, the likes of the UK Labour Party based in Scotland seem to think that the Scottish Govt is profligate??????????? Small fry stuff as previously commented and highly political anti-Scotland/anti-democracy activities bordering on desperation.
