Peter Murrell, Nicola Sturgeon's husband, was charged in April for alleged SNP fund embezzlement in Operation Branchform.
Peter Murrell, husband of former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, was charged in April as part of Operation Branchform, investigating alleged embezzlement of SNP funds. His defense lawyer argues that the prosecution must proceed promptly, citing the right to a timely trial.
