The Public Prosecution Service will continue to consider charges against other individuals in the £37m investigation involving Britain's top spy with the IRA, codenamed Stakeknife
The volume of material runs to more than one million pages."The test for prosecution is only applied to living individuals," said the PPS's assistant director Martin Hardy.He went on to state the case is being progressed "as quickly as possible" in the light of "limited resources."
Mr Hardy added: "We recognise this is a long and difficult process for the families and victims who await decisions in these cases. "We will also continue to keep them updated as we move closer to the time when the decisions can issue."Mr Scappaticci left Northern Ireland when identified by the media as Stakeknife in 2003
On Tuesday, Mr Boutcher confirmed Mr Scappaticci's death had taken place last week and his funeral has been held in England. From the late 1970s until 1990, Mr Scappaticci, although he publicly denied it, worked for army intelligence within the IRA's internal security unit, which was tasked with finding and executing informers.
