Gerry Adams plans to sue BBC, claiming they falsely accused him of sanctioning a killing in 2016.

Former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams is set to sue the BBC in April 2025, claiming they falsely accused him of sanctioning the killing of former Sinn Féin official Denis Donaldson, a British spy, in 2006. The case is based on a 2016 BBC Spotlight program and article. The BBC denies the claim, stating their coverage was in the public interest. The trial, delayed by preliminary hearings, is expected to last up to three weeks.
