Sunday World
About this episode

Corrupt cop John ‘Spud’ Murphy intervened in a property dispute between a financier and a suspected criminal and allegedly asked for £5,000 for himself and £5,000 for a serving officer, police investigating him for corruption have been told.


The disgraced former Superintendent who is currently serving a jail term after he was caught with over a quarter of a million euro worth of cannabis will be asked about that and a number of other allegations involving dirty money.


Nicola speaks to Niall Donald about the intimidation of an innocent businessman, a long running property dispute and how the Spud Murphy investigation is the biggest probe of corruption in the history of An Garda Siochana.
