No prosecutions to follow last files considered from Operation Kenova
No prosecutions are to be pursued following consideration of the final files from a major investigation into the Army’s top agent in Northern Ireland during the Troubles.
The Public Prosecution Service (PPS) said it considered a large volume of material and information contained in six files submitted by Operation Kenova in respect of 12 individuals.
It concluded there is “insufficient evidence to provide a reasonable prospect of conviction” for any individual reported in relation to five incidents which happened between 1987 and 1994.
