Description

Stakeknife, Britains top IRA spy, was allowed to commit murder, according to a new report. Freddie Scappaticci, a senior IRA member, was a double agent for MI5, responsible for abducting, torturing, and killing suspected informers. MI5 even took him on holiday to evade arrest. The report reveals serious organizational failure and criticizes MI5 for prioritizing the agent over victims. Scappaticcis confessions, which could have strengthened evidence, were not shared. This situation raises serious questions about accountability and oversight within intelligence operations.
