Last year, the former SNP MP was found guilty of embezzling almost £25,000 from pro-independence groups.
A court hearing which will attempt to claw back the money stolen by an ex-SNP MP has been delayed. Natalie McGarry, 41, was last year found guilty of embezzling almost £25,000 from pro-independence groups, and in February failed in her bid to overturn the conviction.
"We have a new statement of information, I have not seen that yet. My proposal is to continue for a period suggested, between four to six weeks, but I ask for a period of four weeks simply because the defence is very anxious to draw a line under this case as soon as possible," he said. McGarry, of Clarkston in East Renfrewshire, was jailed in June after a jury found her guilty two months before of embezzling £19,974 while she was treasurer of Women for Independence and £4,661 while she was treasurer and convener of the Glasgow Regional Association of the SNP.
"Through your role in these offences, you have not only betrayed the trust placed in you by others, but your standards have fallen well short of those the public should have a right to expect from MPs."
