Peter Murrell Admits SNP Embezzlement

Peter Murrell, former SNP chief executive and Nicola Sturgeon's estranged husband, has admitted to embezzling over £400,000 from the party.

Court documents reveal he used party funds to purchase personal items, including a motorhome and a robotic lawnmower.

This scandal has raised questions about financial transparency within the SNP, with calls for First Minister John Swinney to explain the extent of the misuse of party and taxpayer funds.

The revelations highlight a significant breach of trust and financial misconduct at the highest levels of the party.
