The 64-year-old has been arrested by Police Scotland but no further details of the charge have been released by the force.
 
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “We can confirm that a 64-year-old man has been arrested and charged, and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal. Proceedings are now live under the contempt of court act.”
 
Mr Salmond, from Linlithgow, West Lothian, was Scottish first minister from 2007 to 2014.
 
He had been under investigation by Police Scotland following claims of sexual harassment against him. He strenuously denies the allegations.
 
Earlier this month, the Scottish Government’s handling of harassment allegations brought by two women was ruled unlawful by Scotland’s highest civil court. yahoo
