Adams 'disgusted' by claims of SF criminality

The Sinn Féin president, Gerry Adams, has said that he is disgusted at political and media reports accusing his party of involvement in criminality and money-laundering.

Mr Adams told the BBC in Dublin this afternoon that he wouldn't have anyone involved in criminality near him.

He also said no member of Sinn Féin had been accused or charged with any wrong-doing and claimed the party's accusers of being motivated by electoral jealousy.
