Haddock collusion team given £1m

Mark Haddock
Haddock is serving a 10-year sentence

A police unit investigating the role of an ex-Special Branch agent and UVF member in the murders of up to 16 people has been given an extra £1m.

The special unit is part of the Historical Enquiries Team.

It was set up after ex-police ombudsman Dame Nuala O'Loan said Mark Haddock and other members of his Mount Vernon gang were protected by police officers.

Haddock, from Mount Vernon in Belfast, was jailed for 10 years in 2006 for an attack on a nightclub doorman.
