A former senior figure in the Scottish National Party (SNP), who is described as the estranged husband of Nicola Sturgeon, is sentenced to prison for embezzling funds from the party. Multiple outlets report that the man, formerly the SNP’s chief executive, receives a prison term of about five years for the offence. Bloomberg and Breitbart specify the sentence as five years and three months. The convictions relate to misappropriating party money over a period described as exceeding £400,000 (reported by some outlets as more than $540,000), with another source putting the figure higher, at more than $700,000. The reports also say he admits the embezzlement and is found to have used the money to support a luxury lifestyle. The sentencing takes place after the case is brought by prosecutors connected to fraud involving party funds. The outlets agree on the core facts: his role as SNP chief executive, the embezzlement amount (with some variation by outlet), and the prison term announced by the court.
