‘Outed IRA spy Freddie ‘Stakeknife’ Scappaticci has been making frequent visits to a secret bolt-hole in PORTRUSH.’ (May 2006)
The High Court in Belfast has imposed a media ban on publishing anything that could reveal the whereabouts of Freddie Scappaticci.
The Belfast man went into hiding after he was accused of being Stakeknife, a leading republican who was also a British informer within the IRA.
Mr Scappaticci has always denied those claims.
The ban also prevents the publication of any pictures taken of him within the last three years.

Freddie Scappaticci was treated with a lot more decency and courtesy than his victims. The leadership of the republican movement knew what this creature had done, yet they closed ranks to minimalise it, disgusting!

innocent men were executed to cover up his deeds and he is trying to make himself out to be a victim
