The SNP thief
The BBC reports:
Former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell has admitted embezzling more than £400,000 from the party.
Murrell, the estranged husband of the former first minister Nicola Sturgeon, pleaded guilty at the High Court in Edinburgh and has been remanded in custody.
The 61-year-old used party funds to illicitly purchase luxury goods, jewellery, cosmetics, two cars and a motorhome.
He admitted to embezzling a total of £400,310.65 between 12 August 2010 and 19 October 2022.
Maybe SNP really stands for Sneak, Nick & Pillage!
Sturgeon has said she had no idea he stole the equivalent of NZ$900k on household items. She never noticed the following:
- A 125k pound motorhome
- £2,618 high end salt and pepper grinders
- £3,500 on a silver wine coaster
- a Starwalker fountain pen costing £4,225
- a £3,232 Jura GIGA 5 coffee machine
She must have been very distracted!
