More lives were probably lost than saved through the British Army’s operation of its top agent inside the IRA’s internal security unit during the Troubles, a major independent investigation has found. Operation Kenova examined the role of Stakeknife, widely believed to be west Belfast man Freddie Scappaticci, who was embedded in the IRA’s so-called “nutting squad”, responsible for interrogating, torturing and murdering people suspected of passing information to security forces during the conflict.

The police chief who led an inquiry into the activities of British Army double-agent ‘Stakeknife’ during ‘The Troubles’ in Northern Ireland, has described claims that his actions saved countless lives as being ‘hugely exaggerated’. Speaking at the publication of his ‘Operation Kenova’ report, chief constable Jon Boutcher from the Police Service of Northern Ireland insists the spy’s actions ‘resulted in more lives being lost than were saved’.
