Maltaran Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Sinn Fein accused of blackmailing the PSNI by suggesting they might withdraw their support if Gerry Adams gets charged. On a more upbeat note, stop and search is being overhauled to be less racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddington Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 So they released him without charge, but still forwarded the file. Are they waiting to hear back on whether to charge him or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 So they released him without charge, but still forwarded the file. Are they waiting to hear back on whether to charge him or not?It will be for the Public Prosecution Service to determine if there's sufficient evidence to charge him. The Head of the PPP has acted for Sinn Fein in the past, so will have to recuse himself from this decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talleyrand Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I was really hoping they'd hear back straight away - you know let Adams make it to the end of the street before they grab him again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltaran Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 So they released him without charge, but still forwarded the file. Are they waiting to hear back on whether to charge him or not? I guess they decided they weren't going to get any more useful information out of him, so they've let him go while the lawyers decide if there's enough evidence to charge him with anything.

Derfel Cadarn Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Gerry Adams is of the opinion the timing of his arrest was wrong; it shouldnt have been doneduring an election. What?? "Hey we've new evidence linking a politician to murder; lets wait until after the election". And the PSNI is being accused of political policing...Oh, and the UKIP aren't racist. Some of theor best friends err candidates are black... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedles Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 To be fair, there have been issues with arrests of Sinn Fein leaders before. If I recall correctly, Martin McGuinness was arrested for vigilantism before the 2002 elections and that never went further.IMO, Adams did know about McConville. I do believe the squad that killed her reported to him. (I also think he knew about the abuse of his niece, but whether for family feeling or the more "high minded" view he took of non cooperation with the RUC didn't report it). In my opinion, he is a scumbag and it saddens me that Sinn Fein are doing so well as a party. But there is an element of truth to the allegation that the timing is political.

But there is an element of truth to the allegation that the timing is political.Ivor Bell, a very powerful figure in the IRA in the 70s, has been charged with abducting Jean McGonville, on the basis of statements he, and other Republicans, made to researchers at Boston University. It's believed that some of these statements implicate Adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usotsuki Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Boston College is, it seems, prepared to return the interviews to those who participated in the Belfast project. Gerry Adams TD, to the shock of no one at all, has applauded the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
