BBC NI Spotlight reporter
Freddie Scappaticci, a one-time IRA executioner and top-secret British Army agent, lived for many years under state protection in English suburbia.
The town of Guildford in Surrey is not where one might expect to find an IRA serial killer linked to multiple murders, but it's where Scappaticci settled after fleeing Belfast in 2003 following press reports about his double life.
In England, Scappaticci went under a new identity - his neighbours only knew him as Frank, and he was living under the protection of the state.
He was far from home but not from the IRA's violent legacy: In 1974, two IRA pub bombs in Guildford killed five young people.
Decades later and with Northern Ireland's peace process in place, Scappaticci's neighbours had no cause to fear the person they knew as Frank, who lived alone and was exceptionally private.
However, Scappaticci was a man of many faces.
In 2003, a BBC news crew captured his menacing side outside his home in west Belfast.
"Get yourselves off" he bellowed before explicitly warning that if they didn't leave, he would "do" them.
Scappaticci didn't follow through on that threat but he had form in brutal acts of violence alongside a fearsome IRA reputation.

Thanks for sharing
As someone born in belfast in 97 this is like a completely different country than the one i grew up in. fascinating.
Honestly I'm.glad it is , they were dark times so many innocent people got killed on both sides . The fear never leave you tbh.
This is good, I was born in the 70s and was not a nice place.
Went to school with Scapo….He was a rat….
For the best Ryan. We lived in bad times. I was born in 82 I roited everyday with otherside also fighting the ruc and the British forces. Day in day out. It was normal. We didn't know any different. How the parents brought kids up during these bad times i will never know. So I sulate my parents. All parents.
@blood_upon_the_rose 100percent innocent people murdered for what.
Thamks for sharing
LOVE this channel..think the disappeared my fave episode
I always thought the IRA realised Scappaticii was an agent in 2003. But apparently they realised in 1990... that surprised me they knew so early
If you watch the old news reports, they intensified their efforts towards the end, 9 or 10 lads were killed by him and his handlers covering themselves
the thing was, they did know, but he was the head of the nutting squad, the chief interrogator, so if he was outed, the whole of the ira would have lost credability, if the man whose job is is to catch touts, was a tout himself, it would have finished the ira, i think it was around the late 90's when they started to figure out
@@si_h44 apparently they realised in 1990
@si_h44 also Scappattici was in charge of routing out touts in Belfast not everywhere else
Early? By 1990 he had been running his double act as executioner and top mole for more than a decade!
I'm amazed Scappaticci lived for so long
How he survived to die a natural death is one of the mysteries of the world
@@lordsummerisle3139 He was protected by people higher up
im not .. there is more out there
Yous better believe he was protected by the top the IRA leadership. Look at Martin ma cartland. He was a 50bob tout. Yet this devil was able to go about his day to day activities. He was a protected species. Make no mistake about that.
Only reason the rat lived so long was because Gerry Adams was the top tout & knew everything . Achieved nothing only death & misery,became extremely wealthy,sold his country & his people out for the British pound note the truth will out.Brendan the Dark Hughes knew RIP the Dark one true Irish hero🙏
My Dad was posted to NI in the mid 70's, he did two back to back tours, me, my sister and Mam went with him, first Lisburn, then Eglinton, married quarters, I joined in 87, and patrolled the same streets as my Dad, how mad is that... ADU NI
How do you feel now knowing your own government was lying to you the whole time?
Thank you for your service in my part of the UK.
Brigadier Gordon Kerr was in charge of the FRU
Fru reported to no one. They were a law on there own. On the streets of Belfast. They dine drive by shootings. Innocent catholics. They reported back to no one. They did what they liked. Yet not one will ever be brought to justice.
Great info
Just sickening all round. Part of becoming a volunteer was to know the sentence for being an informant and I can't pretend to be sympathetic on that basis regardless of who they were. The other side of that coin is the amount of filth and dirt that has come out before and since the end of hostilities makes you sick that any of it ever happened !!
The only army to leave the same lads in charge of 'intelligence' for any period of time. Stinks to high hell.
@@BrianBoru5523 My father got 7 days in Castlereagh because of Robert Lean who retracted his evidence and got away, apparently was all by design to clear out Belfast of obstacles to Gerry Adams. Was all just a game to the ones at the top !!
The original photo from which the close-up reproduced at 20:05 (a close-up that's been used a great deal in news coverage about him) was taken, also prominently features McGuinness standing up as the main focus of the scene.
Its from volunteer Larry Marleys funeral in April 1987.
The funeral was another shit show by the RUC, denying the family to bury their loved one with dignity.
I think he was just a murderous psychopath who aligned himself with anyone who could 'legitimise' his desire to kill.
Sounds like something along those lines , like most people of his kind it's his excuse to feel important.
I'm not so sure that the ruc was out to save lives though, save lives of certain affinities would be more accurate
You're right, and like John McAleese SAS he was into serious extreme porn
‘Stakeknife informant' pleads guilty to pornography charges
Freddie Scappaticci, identified as the army’s longest serving informant inside the IRA, admitted two counts of possessing extreme pornography

Freddie Scappaticci, the man widely identified as the army’s long serving informer inside the IRA, has admitted two counts of possessing extreme pornography.
Scappaticci, 72, who has been widely identified as Agent Stakeknife, appeared briefly at Westminster magistrates court in central London on Wednesday morning to admit the charges.
He spoke only to enter his pleas to the charges. The chief magistrate, Emma Arbuthnot, sentenced him to three months in custody, suspended for 12 months.
The court heard the charges related to at least 329 images, including bestiality.
Sounds like successive british governments.
@@howwwwwyyyyy You know nothing!
That’s the British government and special branch for you eh and some wonder why they called it the dirty war. Ty ATL
All sides were dirty in the troubles.
No sides has clean hands
Is he Really Dead . There was No Funeral or Anything about his Funeral on The News .
He was buried secretly he had been living under cover in a detached house in an expensive area.
At one time he was being paid 80k per year by British intelligence.
He was a nasty piece of work who was part of the nutting squad and responsible for the deaths of innocents accused of betraying the IRA.
There is a theory that he was not the top spy in the IRA some have said Marin McGuiness or Gerry Adams could also have been spies.
Doubt the full truth will ever come out.
He's dead the way Robert Niarac's dead.
Brian Nelson too? Died in Cardiff, apparently.
You expected an obituary for him in the newspapers?
Kind of funny they housed him in Guildford of all places.
Thanks, I was wondering where it was! At school, aged about twelve, I had an English textbook where many of the chapters were set in Guildford, portrayed as a very idyllic little tpwn.
@@louise_rose It's also famous as the site of an infamous IRA pub bombing that led to four innocent people spending many years in prison.
Manchester too.
The fact that they asked a General to reassure him says it all.
stakeknife was a walk-in.. became a tout of his own accord. noone is above suspicion. . EVERYONE IS SUSPECT.. 🇮🇪 🇮🇪
great channel.. even though ive seen everyone 3 times lol
Just think that Freddie was accusing innocent people who were
P I.R.A & I.R.A folks of being informants just too cover his own dirty evil deeds
The weird thing, too, is that the British calmly allowed him to chop off their own lower-level informants to avoid blowing his cover - even accepting that Freddie personally took part in the hard action on them. That's straight out of the world of John Le Carré!
P.I.R.A and I.R.A? 😮😂
I read Kevin Fulton’s book about being a British spy in the IRA. He claimed that he was called before Stakeknife, who he later identified as Scappatici, twice along with his wife who knew nothing. Each time he told his handlers that they needed to pull him in and each time the Brits told him he was just fine, and each time his interrogation was worse. He finally ran from Northern Ireland before the last time he was supposed to see Scap and when he contacted his handlers, they were no longer at the phone numbers he had for them. He came to the conclusion that Scap would have had him killed and his handlers would have allowed it to keep Scap clear with the IRA.
@@ATLmodK I read that myself a while ago. Willie Carlin's book is worth a read too.
@@stephensmith4480 Yes, i read that as well. At least Carlin was treated well…until he backed Kevin Fulton up. The Brits seemed to chew up and spit out these guys who seemed to just want to be British Soldiers but got turned into spies.
I'm sorry I can't watch this anymore 😭
I read 'Stakeknife' by Martin Ingram & Greg Harkin in 2004.
Still the best book to read about British Military Intelligence during 'The Troubles'.
Hopefully it's keeping the beard awake at night!
What would The Dark think of these quislings!
You can’t look at with hindsight and judge people,it wasn’t about saving lives,it was about intelligence
Kieran Conway has an interesting story to tell..
100%
I would love to sit down with Kieran Conway and really pick his brain. A very smart man that knows a lot. A true republican I believe.
Yep, it remains a mystery. Maybe his identity became known to the Brits and therefore his family by extension. Or he just felt like being a double agent for the heck of it.
He was the scumbag fall guy for others who were never outed. I hope I live to hear the truth. What a mess.
This is a direct quote from the Operation Kenova report
''There is also media scrutiny, with a constant flow of mainstream and social media
stories about Troubles related cases that are often inaccurate and take no account of their
impact on the victims and families involved.
I had not anticipated the level of misinformation that I would need to deal with in terms of, first,
inaccurate stories about our strategic commissioning and approach and, second, incredibly
damaging false information passed to victims and their families by people claiming to be well
informed.''
I don't trust and don't believe this documentary and the people speaking in it.
Anyone O,malley let out off prison would be suspicious, he wouldn’t let his mother out how many prisoners did he let out when he was minister.
It’s on BBC iplayer if it does get removed ..
It’s on Patreon too ;)
The BBC streaming player is only accessible from the UK. (with the Beeb being such a consciously global news brand, I've long thought it's dumb that they do not offer global streaming access for some of their news features and reports - it's often difficult to catch them at the right time on linear TV)
What a evil bastard

Kevin fulton AKA KEVIN KEELY
Rip to all you young men and women who died thinking they were fighting for 🇮🇪 and what we know now they were used for a corrupt government on both sides of the Irish sea , RiP to all who died in the troubles
So what did the security services have on Scappaticci? Was it info gained out of their honey trap operations?
Nobody knows for sure. They claim he was a walk in. There are other theories out there. Some more sinister than others.
Child abuse is the rumour
If someone had privately spread the word that he was living in Guildford and made sure the word got back to people in NI, what would have happened? Would it have been a crime? I know there was a court injunction against journalists approaching him and asking about his past, or exposing him, but did this contact ban apply only to pro journalists or to everybody?
What a knob, all were in the same fight. 'll justs it here wearing a tie......absolutely no idea
Uda had him in there sights but were told to leave him resulting in other innocent deaths
Source?
They killed another man with an Italian sounding name. I think Nelson was involved.
The Brits got wind of a plot to kill scap by the Uda and so put them into an old ex internee called Francisco Nottarino or something close to that spelling on his surname. I think he was aged well into his 70s and was in no way connected to PIRA
@@dowdallerno1 Francisco Notarantonio,
Yep, his nephew O'Connor was shot outside his mothers house by the Ra, two of the people involved in O'Connor's murder are stiffed, after the pub murder in Belfast. McCarthy ? Was the innocent bloke murdered by pub thug Ra, O'Connor ? Sticking up for a cousin,mate.
@@dowdallerno1 Was it Mussolini or Charlie Cairoli ?

Legally prohibited😂 jimmy saville protectors bbc
How naive of the IRA to include having served prison time as a 'positive' criteria when it came to setting up their 'Nutting Squad.' Prime opportunity to be approached and recruited by the intel services!
Dublin jimmy alive and well in witness protection, , just saying.
Was his dad not in Irish mafia ?🙏 Ghod bless
... JAKERS!…6:00
Yeah this channel has bought the most epic story on the troubles just brilliant I want a good documentary on the trick or treat murders with Terrence Knight been looking for time for a good doc on lvf Billy wright loyalist and his death squad that had dune the riseing put trick or treat murders you see clips on it but not a documentary but a trouble land got to say just the greatest channel for getting old school classic doc on the troubles keep doing what your doing more on the trick and treat murders and Terrence Knight billy wright mark Fulton the rat pack ❤ up the LVF
Did you see my upload last week on the massacre - It wasnt a documentary as such more so the news clippings from then, but it seems to be the main content for that massacre online.
Appreciate the comment and it is something I have been trying to do for some time, engaging with Loyalisim , attempting to interview those that fought or their family members etc.
Not an easy rabbit hole to climb into but I shall keep trying!
👹 *Why was he called STAKEKNIFE... Anyone?* 🏃💨
We called him Scapo at the Christian Brothers school in Belfast where he was educated.
That took a while,so it did….
@@kieransavage100 How does that explain the Stakeknife id?
He had the wrong name why would anyone trust him.
Fred scapp. Born bread in the market area belfast. Recruited by fru British intelligence agency during early 80s. Codenamed stakeknife to his british handlers. He was an agent of the state so therefore his wages came directly from the British government. He was a paid British state agent. On the British payroll. 80k a year in early 80s is lot of money a year. Now its time for the families to get apology from the top the British government.. they let there agent organise and set up innocent men and women for murder. This might only be the tip the iceberg. How many more paid state agents are on the books of the British.
I knew in a 88 he was wrong
By his midget porn collection?
Did you actually meet Stakeknife, and talk to him? :) Or who are you referring to?
Rat
@louise_rose no he only met butterknife
Traitorous scumbag.
