Summary
50 new police images released by Scotland's Crown Office show goods Peter Murrell bought with embezzled SNP funds, including a £124,550 motorhome, luxury bags, watches and pens.
Murrell, 61, was jailed for more than five years after admitting he stole £400,000 from the SNP over 12 years and used it to buy more than 1,000 items.
The photos were taken during Police Scotland's long-running investigation at several locations, including the former Glasgow home Murrell shared with estranged wife Nicola Sturgeon and his mother's house.
Only some of the goods tied to the final charges were recovered; five images were released when Murrell admitted the crimes last month, with the latest batch published after the case concluded.
