Yeah, that's his only hope, yeah.

I mean, some of the bits are bizarre because he tells journalists who approach him that it's been a mistake.

There must be an Alfredo Scappaticci who's got confused with him, Federico Scappaticci.

And he also goes to see the IRA leadership.

Now, we have to remember, from 1998, there's been a Good Friday Agreement.

So there is a peace process now.

So the war has effectively stopped.

But everyone in the IRA appears to be in shock because they worry that they've been penetrated by their enemy.

But I think for them, again, it goes back to this point.

It's really hard to admit it's true, isn't it?

And to kind of acknowledge that it's scappatici.

Better for them as well to deny it.

Well, that's the problem.

It's basically sources...

from Frew and other places suggesting that it was him, but that's not documentary evidence or confirmation.

The agreement he has, including with the IRA, is that they're just going to deny it.

The Sinn Fein leader, Gerry Adams, puts out a statement saying people who say he's an agent are being played by British intelligence.

You know, 12th of May, Scappaticci goes to speak to the Anderson Town News and he says, according to the press, I'm guilty of 40 murders.

But I'm telling you this now, after this is settled, I want to meet the families of the people that they say I murdered.

And when I do, I will stand in front of them and say, I didn't do it.
