Peter Murrell, the former SNP chief executive and husband of former Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon, has had his legal aid withdrawn by the Scottish Legal Aid Board. The decision affects funding for his defence in the ongoing criminal case against him. Murrell was charged in connection with an investigation into SNP finances. The withdrawal means he may have to fund his legal representation privately going forward.
Why now: Fresh development in the high-profile SNP finances investigation involving figures close to Scotland's former leadership.
