Sturgeon Regrets Keeping Murrell
Description
Nicola Sturgeon admits she regrets keeping Peter Murrell as SNP chief executive in 2014, now calling it a mistake she’d change with hindsight — despite his crucial role under Alex Salmond. Murrell, who recently pleaded guilty to embezzling over $400,000 for personal luxuries, faces sentencing in June after serving over two decades as CEO. Sturgeon, who took responsibility for her decision but not his crimes, called the fallout “the worst week of my life” and her arrest in the Operation Branchform probe “the worst day.” Current First Minister John Swinney rejects calls for a parliamentary inquiry, saying the ongoing police investigation is adequate.
