Former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell has been sentenced to five years and three months in prison, after he admitted to embezzling more than £400,000 from the party.
Murrell – the estranged husband of Nicola Sturgeon – used the funds to make hundreds of extravagant purchases, including a £124,550 motorhome, cars, jewellery, luxury homewares and designer stationery.
The 61-year-old also falsified accounting records and created fake invoices in a bid to cover up his wrongdoing.
