flag Peter Murrell’s trial on embezzlement charges is delayed to May 25, 2026, over procedural reasons.

flag Peter Murrell, former SNP chief executive and husband of Nicola Sturgeon, has had his trial delayed until May 25, 2026, after originally being scheduled for February 20. flag The Crown Office cited procedural reasons for the postponement but did not disclose specifics. flag The Scottish government denied any involvement, stating trial scheduling is an independent judicial matter handled by the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service. flag Murrell faces one charge of embezzling nearly £460,000 in SNP funds for personal expenses over more than 12 years. flag Critics, including MSP Douglas Ross, questioned the timing, raising concerns about political influence, but officials maintained no government officials were involved in the decision. flag The case remains active under legal protections to prevent prejudicing the trial.
