Craig Murray held in contempt of court
A FORMER diplomat was sentenced to eight months in jail for contempt of court yesterday over his coverage of the Alex Salmond trial.
Craig Murray watched two days of the former first minister’s trial at Edinburgh’s High Court in March 2020 and wrote about it on his website.
Judges subsequently ruled that Mr Murray, 62, was in contempt of court, relating to material capable of identifying four complainers.
