Sturgeon hasn't spoken to Murrell since he was jailed for embezzling SNP funds
The former first minister also told a podcast she would not visit her estranged husband in prison.
Former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon revealed she hasn't spoken to her estranged husband, Peter Murrell, since he was jailed for embezzling over £400,000 from the Scottish National Party (SNP). Speaking on a podcast, Sturgeon said she felt like a "mug" for caring about him and admitted she was still learning about his crimes when he pleaded guilty.
Murrell, 61, was sentenced to more than five years in prison for using party funds to purchase a motorhome and luxury goods, including a £124,550 vehicle and £3,223 coffee machine. Sturgeon said she was unaware of his crimes until the day he pled guilty and felt betrayed by his deceit. She added that she hadn't visited him in prison and wouldn't do so, as she was still coming to terms with their relationship.
