The Northern Ireland Policing Board is urged to launch an inquiry into the Police Service of Northern Ireland's surveillance of journalists' phones. The Stakeknife case has led to 32 individuals being considered for prosecution. Freddie Scappaticci, a former IRA member, lived under British state protection despite being a killer. The PSNI chief denies extensive use of surveillance powers against journalists, amid ongoing scrutiny of the Kenova investigation into Stakeknife's alleged crimes.
