Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s former first minister, rejects any blame for her estranged husband’s embezzlement of Scottish National Party funds. On Sunday, she told the BBC she wouldn’t apologize for his crimes. Her husband, Peter Murrell, pleaded guilty last week to stealing over 400,000 pounds from the SNP. Sturgeon insists she had no knowledge of his actions. The case has raised concerns about political accountability in the U.K. Sturgeon admits it was a mistake to keep Murrell as SNP chief executive after she became party leader in 2014. Murrell’s plea concludes a five-year police investigation.
