Scotland’s former leader rejects blame for estranged husband’s embezzlement of party funds

Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s former First Minister, denied responsibility for her estranged husband Peter Murrell’s embezzlement of Scottish National Party funds. Murrell pleaded guilty to stealing over 400,000 pounds to fund a lavish lifestyle during his tenure as SNP chief executive. Sturgeon acknowledged it was a mistake to let him remain in the role after she became party leader in 2014.
