Salmond may have leaked sexual misconduct inquiry details, claims Sturgeon

EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND, AUG 11 – Sturgeon reveals her 2023 arrest, her husband's embezzlement charges, and her struggles with miscarriage and political betrayals in her new memoir, Frankly, set to publish soon.

  • In an upcoming ITV interview, Nicola Sturgeon said her memoir Frankly will be published on Thursday, due for release on August 14.
  • In other extracts published on Friday, Sturgeon said her arrest in 2023 was ‘mental torture’ and her husband Peter Murrell was arrested in 2023 and charged with embezzlement over 660,000 of SNP donations.
  • Including she was ‘desolate and heartbroken’ over her 2010 miscarriage and felt guilt that ‘never quite left me’, she said, addressing her personal hardships.
  • She accused Alex Salmond of attempting to ‘cast himself as the victim’ and being ‘prepared to traumatise’ the women at the centre of it all, claiming his ‘conspiracy’ was a fabricated invention requiring collusion among women, ministers, police, and the Crown.
  • Ahead of elections, she said she ‘didn’t anticipate’ concerns triggered by the Gender Recognition Reform Bill and warned ‘We are at risk of making the lives of trans people almost unliveable’ after the Supreme Court judgment in May.
