Report calls on UK government to acknowledge that many murders could have been prevented but for the use of the top British mole and to apologise to bereaved families.
A report into the top British mole inside the IRA has concluded that his actions probably resulted in 'more lives being lost than saved'. Freddie Scappaticci, codenamed 'Stakeknife', headed the IRA's 'nutting squad', a unit tasked with identifying informants, but was himself operating as a spy for British intelligence. 'Victims were not protected and terrorists were not subjected to criminal justice,' according to the findings of a seven-year probe.
The report also recommends that the longest day, 21 June, be designated as a day to remember those killed or injured during the troubles. Who was Stakeknife? Freddie Scappaticci, the son of Italian parents, grew up in Belfast and had trials with Manchester City and Nottingham Forest. He joined the IRA in the 1970s and was linked to 18 murders, but died last year, aged 77, having never faced trial for any of them.
