Nicola Sturgeon's ex-husband Peter Murrell admits embezzling £400,000 in SNP funds

Former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell has been remanded into custody after pleading guilty to embezzling £400,000 from the party at the High Court in Edinburgh.

He appeared for a hearing today which had originally been scheduled to take place in Glasgow in February.

Murrell was accused of embezzling the funds from the party between August 2010 and January 2023.

Murrell, 61, who is Nicola Sturgeon’s estranged husband, was alleged to have used the money to buy items including a motorhome and luxury goods, and towards the purchase of two cars.
