Natalie McGarry, 40, who represented Glasgow East between 2015 and 2017, was convicted of two charges of embezzlement – totalling £24,635 – in May following a trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Sentencing McGarry, Sheriff Tom Hughes said she had betrayed people who put their trust in her and that a custodial sentence was inevitable. Over the course of the six-week trial, the court heard from dozens of witnesses, including Scotland’s formersecretary Jeane Freeman, who said she reported McGarry after noticing a significant shortfall in WFI accounts.
The court also heard from witnesses that McGarry had personal financial difficulties and regularly received loans from family and friends. It included £10,472.52 on April 29 2014 and a further £9,848.70 on November 12 2014 – which she used to pay for rent and shopping.
