'I'm the man with the money,' Murrell told Shetland jeweller
Peter Murrell, former SNP chief executive and estranged husband of ex-Scotland First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, pleaded guilty at Edinburgh's High Court to embezzling over £400,000 from the SNP between August 2010 and October 2022, including a £850 Northern Lights pendant purchased from Shetland Jewellery in 2019 where he told the shop owner he was 'the man with the money'. Sturgeon stated she was deceived and let down by Murrell, explaining she had no reason to doubt he was using his own funds as they earned high salaries, rarely socialized, and maintained separate bank accounts.
