Sturgeon Denies Embezzlement Knowledge

Former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has vehemently denied responsibility for her estranged husband Peter Murrell's embezzlement crimes.

Murrell pleaded guilty to embezzling over £400,000 from the SNP. Sturgeon stated she feels like she's 'serving a sentence for a crime I did not commit.' The scandal has prompted calls for a joint parliamentary inquiry into the embezzlement.

Public opinion is divided on whether Sturgeon has been unfairly targeted.
