Manage episode 324703920 series 3321674
Former undercover police officer turned crime author Stephen Bentley reveals the unknown details of one of the most audacious covert cop operations in UK history.
Operation George saw British police officers form a fake organized crime gang that duped loyalist terror killer Jim Fulton into confessing to a litany of crimes, including the sectarian murder of an innocent grandmother.
The former police officer also talks about his time working on one of the biggest undercover police operations to have taken place on British soil. Operation Julie saw a young Bentley infiltrate a Welsh LSD drugs gang during the 1970s, smashing two drug production and distribution centres, and the jailing of over 15 people for 120 years.
