Former Scotland First Minister Humza Yousaf says Peter Murrell, the SNP’s former chief executive, “betrayed” the party. Murrell was jailed for five years for embezzling hundreds of thousands of pounds from the SNP.
In an interview for ‘The Real Question with Shehab Khan’, Yousaf said he had not spoken to Murrell, who is Nicola Sturgeon’s ex-husband, but would appreciate the chance to “look him in the eye” and confront him.
Yousaf, who had the top job in Scotland from March 2023 until May 2024, also discussed how he felt during what he described as the most traumatic experience of his family’s life, when his in-laws were trapped in Gaza following the attacks on October 7, 2023.
