Peter Murrell, the husband of former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, spent £124,000 of embezzled SNP funds on a motorhome, according to police documents. The motorhome was one of many luxury items purchased with the £400,310 he stole from the party.
The full list of purchases, spanning around 100 pages, includes high-end goods such as a Jaguar car, luxury watches, iPads, and a robotic lawnmower. It also features more mundane items like curry sauce, glue, and a corkscrew.
Stuart Houston, assistant chief constable of Police Scotland, said Murrell had “abused his privileged position with access to Scottish National party funds to divert cash into his own accounts and bankroll the lavish lifestyle he craved but could not afford.” The investigation into the embezzlement has been ongoing, with Murrell facing charges related to the misuse of party funds.
