Former SNP Leader Sentenced for Embezzlement

Peter Murrell, former SNP chief, gets five years and three months for embezzling £400K over 12 years—fabricating invoices, bypassing controls, and deceiving staff. Judge calls it a calculated breach of trust, sentencing him backdated to May 2026. Though remorseful and a first-time offender, no mitigating factors were found. His guilty plea avoided trial, which would’ve led to a harsher seven-year sentence. Funds will be repaid from personal assets, but public scrutiny may limit future employment.
