Nicola Sturgeon’s husband has been charged in connection with embezzlement of funds from the Scottish National Party.
Peter Murrell, the party’s former chief executive, was taken into custody at 9.13am on Thursday morning by detectives investigating the funding and finances of the party.
Police Scotland said he was charged more than nine hours later, at 6.35pm, after further questioning. He was released from police custody, and a report will be sent to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service in due course.
Proper socialists.
