This probably isn't of much interest outside of the UK, but I find the whole thing bizarre. The guy was the husband of the SNP Leader Nicola Sturgeon, who sounds a bit fishy, but apparently won't be charged.
Murrell bought a luxury SUV – a Jaguar iPace – for £81,000, subsided with £57,500 stolen from the SNP money, which he later sold for £47,378, pocketing the proceeds. There was also a £124,550 Niesmann+Bischoff motorhome, which he parked on his mother’s driveway, and for which he created fake invoices.
He used a further £16,489 of SNP money to part-fund the purchase of a £32,989 Volkswagen Golf.
She claimed that she never noticed the expensive motorhome parked at her mother-in-law's home, as it was behind a wall.
You can see how she'd miss this:
I was only joking

@Doctor-Phibes British politics has reached that charming stage where embezzlement is no longer denied on factual grounds but on architectural ones.
The motorhome was behind a wall, so naturally it passed at once into Scottish folklore.
