Summary
Peter Murrell, former SNP chief executive, has pleaded guilty to embezzling over £400,000 from the party, using funds to finance a lavish lifestyle—including luxury goods and a campervan—while holding power for two decades. His betrayal has shattered trust among members and donors, especially as he was appointed by current First Minister John Swinney, who now faces intense scrutiny. Though Nicola Sturgeon was cleared, the scandal threatens to derail the SNP’s independence campaign and forces the party to confront how to rebuild credibility after such a devastating breach of trust.
