Stakeknife: British Spy's IRA Crimes Uncovered

Description

Stakeknife, a top British spy within the IRA, was revealed to have committed horrific crimes including torture and murder, linked to at least thirteen murders. MI5, Britains security service, was deeply involved in directing him, contrary to previous claims. The nine-year investigation, Operation Kenova, found that Scappaticcis actions led to more deaths than lives saved. Despite detailed findings, Scappaticci has never been officially named due to the British governments policy. The report highlighted a perverse sense of loyalty from MI5 towards Stakeknife, even taking him on holiday while police wanted to question him. MI5 admitted to finding hundreds of new documents about Stakeknife, apologizing for the oversight.
