Nicola Sturgeon will be allowed to keep goods bought with stolen SNP funds – including expensive household appliances and apparent gifts – because prosecutors quietly deleted them from Peter Murrell’s indictment in a plea deal.
Scots law specialists say hundreds of items worth almost £60,000 that were stripped out before he admitted embezzling £400,310.65 are now effectively beyond confiscation unless the SNP sues her itself.
Think about that: a party chief embezzles nearly half a million pounds, splurges it on everything from a £124,000 motorhome to a £3,200 coffee machine, a robotic lawnmower, designer salt and pepper grinders and “gifts” for his wife – and the system decides that as long as the indictment is massaged down, the goodies can stay where they are.
In any normal organisation, that would be called proceeds of crime; in SNP‑land, it’s just another “private matter” between the former leader and her estranged husband.
NEW: Sky News came to Ireland in an attempt to question Nicola Sturgeon about claims she shut down scrutiny of SNP finances at the same time her ex-husband Peter Murrell stole £400k from party.
She entered the kitchen to avoid questions with security pushing me away.
@SkyNews
Nicola Sturgeon has killed Scottish independence for at least a generation.
The Scottish parliament, across parties, seems awash with corruption, and the Green Party is just a bad joke.
Dissolve the parliament. Roll back devolution. They’ve fucked it.
@JohnSwinney You announced a gimmick that won't scratch the surface of the housing emergency that you chancers created.
Reintroduce local connection and prioritise Scots over strangers who came here illegally if you want to tackle housing, John.
When season tickets sell out again, I don’t want to hear months of endless “sack the board” protests. You can’t hand over record money every summer and then act shocked that the board ignore the noise. Protest without sacrifice becomes performance shite rather than real pressure.
John Swinney rejects calls for a Holyrood inquiry into the Peter Murrell scandal by saying:
“What more do we need to look into?’
I can think of over 400,000 things.
@Dungarbhan Corruption is rife within Scottish politics. There’s already a nest of vipers down south. We don’t need another nest in our own back yard. Dissolve the Scottish parliament.
Here is disgraced Former SNP FM Nicola Sturgeon in 2023 demanding independence for Scotland so that she can "eradicate poverty" because its Westminsters fault.
Meanwhile her 'husband' was buying motorhomes, Jaguars, £3000 salt and pepper pots, Fortnum and Mason £2000 hampers and £3000 Mont Blanc pens with stolen money she claims to know SFA about.
So Murrell was so rich, he loaned the SNP £107,000 a few years ago.
Fast forward to 2026 and he applies for, & gets legal aid approved.
The taxpayer is getting rinsed yet again by the SNP.
Join all the dots....
