Gerry Adams denies involvement in the death of British spy Denis Donaldson, suing BBC for defamation.

Former Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams testified in a Dublin court that he "liked but did not have many dealings" with British spy Denis Donaldson, killed in 2006. Adams is suing BBC Northern Ireland for defamation over claims in a 2016 program that he sanctioned Donaldson's murder. Adams denied involvement, describing Donaldson as a "victim of the conflict" and suggesting those he informed for saw him as "expendable."
