Peter Murrell pleads GUILTY to embezzling £460k from SNPAdded:
Nicola Sturgeon's ex-husband, Peter Murrell, is behind bars after pleading guilty to embezzling more than £400,000 from the SNP. The party's former chief exec, aged 61, faced eight charges today when he appeared in the dock at the High Court in Edinburgh. In total, the ex-SNP chief was accused of embezzling £459,046 and 49p of party funds between August 12th, 2010 and January 13th, 2023.
But today, some charges were removed ahead of his guilty plea. Murrell, who arrived at court with belongings in a bag, showed no reaction as he was led to the cells.
Judge Lord Young told him he was guilty of a gross breach of trust.
