The shamed former politician was found guilty of embezzling cash from two pro-independence groups.
Shamed former politician Natalie McGarry has been ordered to pay just £66 after it was agreed she benefited £55,000 from general criminal conduct. McGarry, 41, was found guilty of stealing £19,974 while treasurer of Women for Independence.
She was jailed for two years in June 2022 which was reduced to 20 months on appeal. A proceeds of crime hearing took place today at Glasgow Sheriff Court, as the Crown sought to recoup the stolen cash. "There is an agreed joint minute that you make a confiscation order for £66.36 and that will be paid to the Sheriff’s clerk within one month of today. Miss McGarry maintains her innocence for the charges and does not accept she committed any crimes.
Fiscal depute Brian Duffy told the hearing that the £66.36 figure was "the only amount available to Miss McGarry towards the confiscation order." The order was granted by Sheriff Divers.
