For decades, he was known only as “Stakeknife”, the Golden Egg of British Intelligence. But behind the codename was Freddie Scappaticci, a man who led the IRA’s brutal Internal Security Unit, the “Nutting Squad”, while secretly on the payroll of the British state. In this True Crime Documentary, we uncover the shocking rise and fall of the agent who was given a license to kill. Based on the findings of the 2024 and 2025 Operation Kenova reports, we reveal how MI5 and military intelligence protected a serial killer to save their source, costing more lives than they saved.
