Peter Murrell’s lawyer says Murrell never had access to money held by Yes Scotland. In response to claims about the group’s finances, lawyer Aamer Anwar rejects allegations that about £1.5 million is “missing” from Yes Scotland’s accounts. The statement, reported by multiple outlets, also denies that Murrell had any role that would have given him control over the organisation’s cash or accounts. The accounts-related allegation is described as false by the lawyer, who disputes that the funds were unaccounted for in the way claimed. The coverage focuses on Murrell’s personal access to the organisation’s finances and the specific figure of £1.5 million referenced in public allegations. The statements do not, in the reports provided, add detail about any internal audits or independent findings, and they present the lawyer’s position directly against the allegations. The issue remains framed around competing claims over whether the money exists within the accounts and whether Murrell had authority or access to manage it.
