A Conservative UK government would split the dual role of Scotland’s top law officer, Kemi Badenoch has said.
The announcement comes after it was revealed Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain KC had informed the First Minister on January 19 that former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell – Nicola Sturgeon’s estranged husband – had been charged with embezzling almost £460,000 from the party. That was weeks before the indictment was made public.
