概要
The Man Who Fed Killers: Britain's Secret IRA Mole Revealed

Fear and fascination meet in a single recording: a man in a car park in 1993 spoke openly about IRA operations while unknowingly being taped - and that man was later identified by investigators as Stakeknife, the highest-placed British agent inside the IRA. How did a trusted Internal Security Unit member, who hunted, interrogated and executed suspected informants, remain an agent for decades, and what did that protection cost in human lives?

In this episode, we tell the documented story of Freddie Scappaticci, tracing his path from a Markets-born bricklayer to a senior figure in the IRA’s Internal Security Unit and to the agent codenamed Stakeknife, and we explore the findings of Operation Kenova and the Irish government’s 2026 confirmation: did more people die because of him than were saved?
