Feb 2021. Alex Salmond Accusations

Alex Salmond has claimed the “inescapable conclusion” is that there was a “malicious and concerted” attempt to see him removed from public life. The submission by the former first minister was published by the Committee on the Scottish Government Handling of Harassment Complaints on Monday evening. Mr Salmond names people he alleges to have been part of efforts to damage his reputation – including Nicola Sturgeon’s husband Peter Murrell and chief of staff Liz Lloyd – as well as describing the Crown Office as “not fit for purpose” under its current leadership.
