Natalie McGarry's confiscation hearing delayed as lawyers wade through financial records

A court hearing led by the crown to attempt to recoup money embezzled by ex-SNP MP Natalie McGarry has been delayed until the summer as lawyers wade through the disgraced politician's financial records.

McGarry, 41, was last year found guilty of embezzling almost £25,000 from pro-independence groups between April 2013 and November 2015.

Prosecutors are now attempting to recover the funds from McGarry, but on Tuesday, her lawyer Allan McLeod submitted a motion to delay the confiscation hearing for a further 12 weeks, saying there was an "extensive period" of financial records between McGarry and her husband, ex-councillor David Meikle, to deal with.
