Her ex-husband, former SNP chief Peter Murrell, admitted embezzling £400k, but Sturgeon argues she wasn’t responsible for party accounts and was focused on her role as First Minister. Critics liken her silence to organized crime tactics, but her team rebuts fiercely, calling it mischaracterization and emphasizing the investigation’s thoroughness.
