Rupert: from a tourist to a spy

FOUR marriages, two failed business empires and a love affair with the Irish scenery and lifestyle.

David Rupert, the unlikely spy, finally revealed the man behind the mystery yesterday.

Rupert, 6ft 5”, around 20 stone, with greying hair and wearing glasses, sat slightly hunched in the witness box as he was eased through his first day of testimony as the key witness in the Special Criminal Court trial of 53-year-old Dundalk man Michael McKevitt.
