A British state issued a real passport to a man who did not exist, and for seven years he built a fully lived undercover identity that led to arrests, relationships, and tapes that may have cleared six activists - so how far did the deception reach and who authorised it? The story hinges on withheld recordings and a tradecraft manual whose author allegedly practised what it prescribed.
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events that turned an undercover deployment into a national scandal, tracing Mark Kennedy’s seven-year operation as Mark Stone, the legal collapse around missing evidence, and the institutional questions that remain unanswered. What will the long-running inquiry and the sealed documents ultimately reveal?
Person: Mark Kennedy
Alias: Mark Stone
Unit: National Public Order Intelligence Unit (NPOIU)
Deployment period: 2003-2010
Inquiry status: Open since 2015; final report unpublished as of December 2025
- Kennedy was deployed undercover from 2003 to 2010, a total of seven years.
- He worked for the NPOIU and was used by police forces in 22 countries.
- A state-issued passport was created in the name Mark Stone, a name that did not belong to any real person.
- The Metropolitan Police apology in November 2015 described the conduct as "abusive, deceitful, manipulative, and wrong."
- Documents in the 2018 case filed by Kate Wilson confirm Kennedy’s line manager knew of at least one sexual relationship and acquiesced to it.
