Adams claims he faced 'malicious' campaign

Gerry Adams said he made himself available to talk to police following a “sustained, malicious, untruthful and sinister campaign” against him alleging his involvement in a notorious IRA murder.

Speaking at a press conference following his release from custody after four days of questioning about the killing of Belfast mother-of-ten Jean McConville, the Sinn Fein president said he was “concerned about the timing” when the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) contacted his solicitor on Monday afternoon.
