Peter Murrell, the 59-year-old husband of former Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon, has been charged with embezzlement; this comes as part of a probe into the finances of Scotland's governing party.

LONDON — The husband of former Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon was charged Thursday with embezzlement in a probe into the finances of Scotland’s pro-independence governing party, a shocking setback for the country's most powerful political couple. Police in Scotland said a 59-year-old man was charged Thursday evening after being arrested and taken into custody earlier in the day for questioning by 'detectives investigating the funding and finances of the party.

Those efforts reached a stalemate when the U.K. government refused to authorize a new referendum. Sturgeon’s departure unleashed a tussle for the future of the SNP amid recriminations over the party’s declining membership and divisions over the best path towards independence. Opinion polls suggest support for the party has sagged.
