Court imposes media ban over Scappaticci
Belfast High Court has today imposed a ban on the media on publishing any information that could disclose the location of alleged double agent Freddie Scappaticci.
The ban will also include the prohibition of the publication of any photographs taken of the former Sinn Fein member over the past three years.
Mr Scappaticci, a leading republican, was accused of being the British agent known as 'Stakeknife.'
He went into hiding after the accusations emerged and in 2004 it was rumoured that he had left Ireland, after the independent sale of his home in west Belfast.
Freddie Scappaticci has always denied these claims.
