苏格兰前首席部长尼古拉·斯特金近日在播客中透露，自丈夫彼得·穆雷尔今年6月入狱后，她便未与他有过任何交流。[1]穆雷尔因挪用苏格兰民族党超过40万英镑资金被判处5年监禁，犯罪跨越2010年至2022年。[1]这笔被挪用的党款被用于购买房车、捷豹SUV、大众高尔夫等物品，以及化妆品、iPad和价值2618英镑的Lalique盐和胡椒磨。[1]
斯特金表示，穆雷尔直到认罪前一刻仍在欺骗她，她本人仅在穆雷尔认罪前一周才被告知其将认罪。[1]针对是否会探监或与丈夫继续交流，斯特金明确表态："不会。我不打算再和他说话，也不打算去探监他。"[1]警方调查后未对斯特金提出任何指控。[1]
Former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has revealed that she has not communicated with her estranged husband Peter Murrell since his imprisonment in June 2024 [1]. Sturgeon disclosed in a podcast interview that she made a definitive decision not to visit or speak with Murrell following his sentencing [1].
Murrell was sentenced to five years in prison in June 2024 after pleading guilty to embezzling over 400,000 pounds from the Scottish National Party [1]. The misappropriated funds were used to purchase items including a motorhome, a Jaguar SUV, a Volkswagen Golf, cosmetics, an iPad, and Lalique salt and pepper mills valued at 2,618 pounds [1]. The financial crimes spanned from 2010 to 2022 [1].
Sturgeon stated that Murrell deceived her right up until the moment he entered his guilty plea, with her learning of his intention to admit guilt only one week before he did so [1]. When asked directly about contact with her husband, Sturgeon said: "No. I'm not going to speak to him, I'm not going to visit him" [1]. Police investigations into the matter concluded without any charges being brought against Sturgeon [1].
