Nicola Sturgeon, the former First Minister of Scotland, was hit for a long time by allegations that financial impropriety in the party had been going on under her nose.
But at the end of May, her husband, the chief executive, Peter Murrell, pleaded guilty to embezzling £400,000.
There have been stories of buying pepper pots that cost £3,000, of buying Game Boys, of Playstations, and of course, that notorious motorhome.
But only Peter Murrell was ever charged.
What did Nicola Sturgeon herself know about what was going on?
She sat down with me to give, for the first time, her full account of the story.
You can watch our conversation on iPlayer or YouTube, but here we thought you'd want to hear the longer version of our full conversation.
And in the next episode in your feed, me, Henry and Joe Pike will talk about what it means.
Nicola Sturgeon, thank you very much for speaking to us today.
Everyone in the country is asking.
Peter Murrow, your husband for many years, pled guilty to stealing £400,000 from the party that you led for many years.
You've said you didn't know anything, but as the person who shared his life, as his wife, did you really not notice anything?
I absolutely didn't know that he was committing crimes.
Look, I understand that question.
It's human nature.
If I was on the outside looking in on this happening to somebody else, it's very probably a question I would be asking too.
You know, I think that question, though, is based on a lot of assumptions that are perhaps understandable, but are completely wrong.
The first assumption is that I knew about all of the things that he was purchasing.
There's a lot of the items that have been mentioned in the court documents and therefore by extension in the press that I wasn't aware of.
These are things I had never seen.
