‘I’m not Stakeknife’ - statement

I HAVE been instructed by Fred Scappaticci to make the following public statement:

A number of most serious allegations have been made about my client in the press since Sunday. My client denies each and every one of these allegations.

He is not Stakeknife. He has never been an informer, has never contacted the intelligence services, has never been taken into protective custody and has never received any money from the security services.
