He was interviewed at a police station in Aberdeen and charged with a criminal offense under the Criminal Investigation Act before his release.
Logan and Sam had posted social media snaps soaking up the sun in Vilamoura, Algarve.
A source said, “The police were waiting for Shay to come back from his vacation. It’s fair to say it wasn’t a great gift to come home with. It was probably a bit of a shock. “
Manchester-born Logan has been charged under Section 327 of the Proceeds of Crime Act. This concerns hiding, transforming, concealing or transferring criminal property.

The law also includes the removal of criminal property from England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
The allegations are believed to have nothing to do with Logan Wilson, the business the player – newly qualified as a gas engineer and plumber – built as a post-football earner.
A source said: “The crimes he has been charged with cover his time as a footballer. There is no connection to his company. “
At his luxury accommodation on the outskirts of Aberdeen, Logan claimed to be unaware of the arrest earlier this month. He said, “What? I don’t know what you’re up to. “

Scottish Police said: “A 33-year-old man was arrested on Thursday 17th June in connection with alleged money laundering at an address in Aberdeen.
“He was subsequently charged and a report is being sent to the prosecutor.”
Logan made nearly 300 appearances for Aberdeen after being signed by former manager Derek McInnes and becoming a fan favorite.
In 2014, the right-back was at the center of an Old Firm franchise when he accused Celtic star Aleksandar Tonev of racial abuse. The Bulgarian was suspended for seven games.
Scott Brown – then captain of Hoops – backed his teammate and it was alleged that this led to bad blood between Brown and Logan.
In March, the Dons dropped Logan before Brown signed with the club as player-coach.
Logan, who joined Hearts on a short loan earlier this year, denied that there was a bad feeling between the two about the incident.

He said, “It’s not that we didn’t understand each other. He played for Celtic, I played for Aberdeen, there was rivalry on the pitch. He wanted to win, I wanted to. ”
But in June, he slammed Brown on social media by posting a comment under a photo of the ex-Parkhead hero in a Dons top. He said, “What’s the saying, you can’t polish a pile of shit.”
Logan – who left Aberdeen at the end of last season – was planned by Scotland fans last week after he appeared to mock our exit from Euro 2020 by tweeting: “Anyone still booging?
