Eight people who were found guilty of being part of an IRA kidnapping gang have been awarded £1.6million by the Government after their convictions were quashed, it was reported last night.

The convictions of the seven men and a woman were overturned because the role of a high-level British agent, codenamed Stakeknife, was hidden from the courts at the time of the trial. Stakeknife was exposed as agent Freddie Scappaticci in 2003. He is now in hiding.

The defendants were on trial for the imprisonment of an informer, Alexander ‘Sandy’ Lynch, 25 years ago. The Northern Ireland Appeal Court quashed their convictions in 2009 after seeing secret intelligence files.
