Episode 2 of 3: Partners in Crime (AUDIO ONLY)

The historic connections between the UVF and right-wing politics is well documented.  Even so, it was shocking that the man who introduced us to Nessie, the violent paramilitary member prepared to arrange a murder, was the CEO of Turning Point UK, Jack Ross.  In this episode, Al Jazeera Investigates the dangerous links between right-wing activists stoking rage online and violent, far right criminal organizations. At a time when simply holding a sign supporting a proscribed organization is enough to send someone to prison, Turning Point UK has some explaining to do.  Why is its CEO playing middleman to a murder for hire plot with a man he himself called a “terrorist.”

This episode was written and produced by Kevin Hirten with Simon Boazman and Craig Pennington who is also the audio editor. Additional editing by Manny Panaretos.  Clean Cuts did the final sound mix. Rafi Mustafa is Manager of Investigative Programs for Al Jazeera English.  And Mohammed Al-Hamadi is our Director of Programs.
