Framing Analysis
Peter Murrell, former SNP chief executive and estranged husband of former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, pleaded guilty at the High Court in Edinburgh to embezzling more than £400,000 in party funds. He was remanded in custody and faces sentencing on June 23 following an investigation into SNP donations. Sturgeon was arrested in the same probe but cleared of wrongdoing and announced her divorce from Murrell in January 2025.
