Nicola Sturgeon humiliated as husband jailed over embezzlement scandal
Writer and Broadcaster Esther Krakue believes the conviction of Peter Murrell is an embarrassing chapter for Scotland’s former power couple and raises serious questions about concentrated political power. “This is a man who has been convicted and is going to prison for embezzling hundreds of thousands of pounds in public funds from the Scottish National Party,” Ms Krakue told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. “She apparently had no recollection of any of this. None of his lavish expenses that popped up in the house … she just became blind for the last few months; it’s extremely embarrassing. “There’s so much of Scotland’s power was held in that one household from Nicola Sturgeon and her husband, and I think that’s the problem with concentrating power in the hands of so few.”
