Peter Murrell, the former chief executive of the Scottish National Party, has had his government-funded legal aid withdrawn after being convicted of embezzlement.
Murrell had been receiving legal aid since last year. The support was withdrawn following the conviction, although the available information does not give further details about the proceedings, the value involved or the circumstances surrounding the decision.
The latest development concerns the public funding previously provided to Murrell as a former senior SNP official. No further information has been supplied about any appeal, additional legal action or the next steps in the case.
