Ex-Scottish leader's husband admits embezzling funds

The estranged husband of former Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon has pleaded guilty to embezzling more than 400,000 pounds ($A750,000) from the Scottish National Party when he was its chief executive.

Peter Murrell, 62, was remanded into custody on Monday after admitting in the High Court in Edinburgh that he used the money to buy a motorhome, two cars and luxury goods.

Murrell was originally arrested in April 2023 in an investigation into the SNP's finances and was charged in April 2024.
