The Undoing Of Nicola Sturgeon; Scotlands' Former First Ministers' Husband Charged With Embezzlement

Nicola Sturgeons' husband Peter Murrell is charged by Police Scotland detectives over embezzlement of funds from the SNP

MailOnline 20 APR 2024

Peter Murrell, the husband of Scotland's ex-first minister Nicola Sturgeon, has been charged by Police Scotland detectives over embezzlement of funds from the Scottish National Party.

The 59-year-old, the party's former chief executive, was taken into custody this morning in connection with the probe into how more than £600,000 of donations was used.

The charge came after he was qu stioned by detectives and a report will be sent to Scotland's prosecution service, police said, adding that Mr Murrell is no longer in custody.

He was first arrested by Police Scotland on April 5 last year in the same probe into the SNP's finances, with Ms Sturgeon herself arrested two months later.

Mr Murrell is reported to have resigned his membership of the SNP last night. He quit his role as chief executive in March last year after 22 years in the job.

Police Scotland said in a statement this evening: 'A 59-year-old man has today, Thursday, 18 April, 2024, been charged in connection with the embezzlement of funds from the Scottish National Party.

'The man, who was arrested at 9.13am today and had previously been arrested as a suspect on 5 April, 2023, was charged at 6.35pm after further questioning by Police Scotland detectives investigating the funding and finances of the party.

'A report will be sent to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service in due course. The man is no longer in police custody.

'As this investigation is ongoing we are unable to comment further.'

Police officers, including forensics experts and others with riot shields sparked political uproar last year when they made a very public search of the Sturgeon family home in Glasgow and the nationalist party's Edinburgh headquarters.

Ms Sturgeon, who resigned as first minister and SNP leader in February 2023, was arrested two months after her husband, while the former party treasurer Colin Beattie was also arrested. Both Ms Sturgeon and Mr Beattie were released without charge pending further investigation.
