Peter Murrell: The Man with the Money
How the husband of Scotland's longest-serving first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, embezzled £400,000 from the party he ran - using a paper trail of lies to cover up a spending spree on luxury goods, from a motor home to coffee machines and even toilet seats.\n\nPeter Murrell was one of the most powerful figures in Scottish politics, operating away from the spotlight as chief executive of Scotland's ruling party. But behind the scenes, police pieced together a scandal - which ended in a dawn raid - involving hundreds of thousands of pounds in missing money. He pleaded guilty, while his estranged wife, the party's former leader, denied all knowledge.\n\nFrom the corridors of Holyrood to the highest ranks of the SNP, loyalties fractured as Mr Murrell's reputation collapsed. With insider testimony, analysis and extraordinary revelations from the case, this is a story of power, money and betrayal at the heart of modern Scottish politics.
