I guess it's standard procedure in a criminal investigation
Seeing as it's a case of financial mismanagement Nicola Sturgeon was on of the three who signed off on SNP finances they've all had to be questioned under charge. They'll then be released without charge as the investigations continue and if there's sufficient evidence they'll bring formal charges. I've never really thought about it but it must be why you can get arrested under suspicion at the start of a process of investigation, but you'll have to be formally charged once the CPS is bringing a case against you.
