A court has heard more details about how former Scottish National Party (SNP) chief executive Peter Murrell embezzled a total of £400,310.65 from an SNP bank account he had control of, containing funds from membership fees, party donations and legacy payments.

He made 383 purchases from online retailer Amazon, totalling £42,660.74, which were delivered to Murrell’s home, party headquarters and the addresses of family members. 

The variety of goods is striking, ranging from the ostentatious - Lalique salt and pepper grinders priced at £2,618 - to the mundane, like super glue costing £3.50.
