Former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell is expected to appear in court accused of embezzling £459,000 from the party over a period of more than 12 years.
He arrived at the High Court in Edinburgh on Monday morning for a preliminary hearing in the case.
Murrell, the estranged husband of former first minister Nicola Sturgeon, is accused of embezzling the funds between August 2010 and January 2023.
He is accused of illicitly purchasing items including luxury goods, jewellery, cosmetics, two cars and a motorhome.
