PROSECUTORS are looking to recover £130,799.09 from shamed former MP Natalie McGarry.
McGarry, 41, was jailed for two years at Glasgow Sheriff Court in June this year.
She was found guilty of taking £19,974 while treasurer of Women for Independence.
McGarry also embezzled a further £4,661 while treasurer, secretary and convener of the Glasgow Regional Association of the SNP.
McGarry - who denied the accusations - had been the MP for Glasgow East between 2015 and 2017.
A proceeds of crime hearing where prosecutors are looking to recover monies embezzled was postponed today as the sheriff was unavailable.
McGarry was also not in attendance.
