Letter from Martin McGartland to the Evening Standard

The film Fifty Dead Men Walking (reviewed by Derek Malcolm, 9 April) gives the impression that it is an accurate portrayal of my life.

In fact as I have already made clear it wholly misrepresents my career and motivation for working with the Security Services.

It is on public record that I was already an established Security Services agent for two years before I made contact with the IRA, having been recruited by British intelligence to infiltrate the organisation.

Martin McGartland.
