Police Scotland began investigating the SNP’s finances in 2021 after questions were asked about what had happened to £667,000 raised for a second independence referendum campaign.
Officers initially looking into those concerns ultimately uncovered Murrell’s crimes.
They found the former chief executive had used charge cards, bank transfers and fake invoices to illicitly purchase items including jewellery, cosmetics, stationery, and games consoles.
Most notably, he bought a £124,500 motorhome in 2020.
Three years later, it was seized from his mother’s driveway in Dunfermline with four miles on the clock.
