How former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell spent the £400,000 he embezzled Just now Share Save Add as preferred on Google Aimee Stanton , Andrew Picken and Claire Thomson , BBC Scotland PA Media Peter Murrell admitted the embezzlement charge last week A court is set to hear more details about how former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell embezzled goods worth more than £400,000 using the party's money. More than 100 pages of court documents have already been released showing the wide range of items he bought over a 12-year period. That list includes more than 1,000 items, from luxury goods and a £124,550 motorhome to everyday purchases like hand cream. Ahead of today's hearing, BBC Scotland has analysed the scale and timing of Murrell's illegal purchases – and produced a searchable list of all the goods he admitted buying. What did Murrell buy with stolen SNP funds? Murrell's embezzlement began with the purchase of two Ali Baba laundry baskets from Amazon in August 2010 - just one month after his wedding to Nicola Sturgeon . Court documents show that after this £70.89 outlay Murrell made a total of 1,066 purchases using embezzled SNP cash between 2010 and October 2022. The variety of goods is striking, ranging from the ostentatious - Lalique salt and pepper grinders priced at £2,618 - to the mundane, like Loctite super glue costing £3.50. Records show that on 4 July 2016 Murrell bought a pair of Montblanc cufflinks for £215. Six days later the ex-SNP chief executive was pictured at the men's final of the Wimbledon tennis tournament alongside his then wife Sturgeon, who was Scotland's first minister. Murrell was wearing cufflinks which look similar to the ones purchased.

A set of library ladders worth £943 is part of the list of items Murrell bought. The list of stolen items also includes more than £2,000 of goods from Norwegian outdoor clothing brand Helly Hansen. Murrell was pictured wearing this style of jacket on a number of occasions. Elsewhere, there are a number of pictures of Sturgeon using expensive Montblanc pens which look similar to the ones that appear on Murrell's list of stolen items. Other images from media interviews at the Murrell and Sturgeon's former home show what appear to be the same coffee machine model - a £1,299 Miele CM 6300 machine - as the ones purchased by Murrell. In addition, a £943 library ladder that appears on the list of goods purchased by Murrell is also visible in pictures taken in their home. Murrell also made 79 purchases in the run up to Christmas between 2010 and 2021. These range from compute
