The £124,550 Niesmann and Bischoff Smove 7.4e campervan was driven only four miles before being seized by police in April 2023. Murrell used fraudulent expense claims and direct transfers from SNP accounts, often splitting payments to avoid detection, to fund these purchases. False invoices were created to conceal the transactions, with the Jaguar i-Pace described as a 'stage payment' for events and the motorhome as a 'van'.
