Surprised that there has been no comment on Murrell being charged with eight counts of embezzlement of SNP funds amounting to £360k.

I`m not sure if that information should have been made public at this stage. C4 News said tonight the trial would be held at the end of May, ie after the Holyrood elections.

It was reported in the Scottish Sun today that’s why it was reported on BBC Scotland news.
Last post on this story on the forum was nearly a year ago.

Nobody auditing books, checking expenditure, how many AGM`s?

Nobody saying anything about that this being postponed until after the election? No conspiracy about that being done to benefit the current Scottish government? Some on this very board were saying this was all politically motivated and the big old tent in the garden and the timing of it all was all done to harm the snp when the investigation first began.
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Who decides when a case is tried in court? I don`t think it`s the Scottish government is it? This case has being going on for years. Couldn`t it have been brought to court much earlier to avoid any clash with the May elections? Conspiracy theories work both ways.

Ultimately it’s the decision of the Crown to decide on court dates. It has nothing to do with the Government. They’re two separate entities.

Has the sudden release and widely broadcast charges (Starmer included) delayed the case?🤔
Or are they still digging up the back garden to find the cars?🤣🤣🤣

Being reported that the Lord Advocate, Dorothy Bain, who sits on the Scottish Government tipped off Sweeney a month before Murrell’s charges re the SNP Finances were announced to the public. She was appointed by Sturgeon. The Procurator Fiscal is responsible to the Lord Advocate. The postponement of Murrell’s hearing until after the May elections has a distinct smell of electioneering.

I don`t think many people would notice or care anymore. Sturgeon is an after thought.

It’s not about Sturgeon. It’s the actions of the current SNP government in a cover up.

Unfortunately, all the electable parties have scandals. Too many elected officials who have no morals. Our current MP appears to be highly dubious, which I find really disappointing.

Bain never “tipped off “ Swinney. You are listening to the desperate unionists.
She was duty bound to tell the FM of the official charges ( even though the amounts have been in the public domain for yonks ) . She would have done the same regardless of who and what party the FM was/with. After all the monies in question were SNP funds not public money. There was a KC on good morning Scotland who ripped Findlay’s accusations to shreds and said that Bain has done nothing wrong. As far as I am aware this particular KC has no party affiliation, so his word will do for me as opposed to the frothing utterances of Findlay, Ross and Sarwar etc..

The other `scandal` that the opposition parties raise about this is that Dorothy Bain`s position as Lord Advocate means that she is head of the Crown Prosecution Service as well as being the Scottish government`s legal adviser, as if this was some fiendish SNP plot. In fact this situation has been the case with all Scottish governments since devolution was introduced in 1999. It has always been considered controversial but any change would require the UK government to amend the Scotland Act.
