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. The investigation, initiated by campaigner Sean Clerkin in 2021, has yet to see further action from the Crown Office, which asserts its decisions will be free from political influence.
