## Resource

Former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell admits to embezzling over £400,000 from the party over 12 years, funding a lavish lifestyle with luxury cars, a £124k campervan, and designer goods. His lawyer entered a guilty plea as he faces sentencing, with the judge calling it a “gross breach of trust.” Estranged wife and former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, cleared of wrongdoing, said she was blindsided and believed he used his own funds. Current First Minister John Swinney apologized, calling the theft a betrayal of party members’ hopes, while police defended their lengthy probe. The scandal has rocked the SNP, sparking calls for a reckoning as stolen funds were meant for independence campaigning. Murrell remains in custody until sentencing on June 23, 2026.
