Former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams has won a defamation case against the BBC, with the High Court in Dublin awarding him €100,000 in damages.
The case was related to a 2016 episode of the BBC's Spotlight program and an online article, which Adams claimed falsely accused him of approving the 2006 murder of British informant Denis Donaldson.
During the trial, Adams argued the program was inaccurate and damaging, describing it as a "hatchet job". The broadcast included claims from an anonymous source who said Adams had the final say in IRA killings, an accusation he strongly denied. Adams said he was shocked by Donaldson’s death and viewed him as a victim of the conflict.
The BBC defended its reporting, saying it was thoroughly researched and in the public interest, but the court ultimately ruled in Adams' favor.
