We now know how Peter Murrell embezzled from the SNP - but not why

Prosecutors have detailed how former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell embezzled over £400,000 from the party using devious tactics like falsifying accounting data to evade detection by auditors, officials, and his estranged wife Nicola Sturgeon, though his motive remains unclear; he is set to be sentenced on June 23, likely to serve initial time in a mainstream Scottish prison (possibly HMP Dumfries) with potential transfer to an open prison later, and faces proceeds of crime action to recover the funds, with his frozen assets appearing sufficient to repay the amount.
