Show Notes
Three years ago a former private spy came to our newsroom at Tortoise. He told an incredible story about infiltrating a campaign group, deceiving people for years but all the while being a 'double agent', before his world fell apart. And it all played out in the opaque world of corporate intelligence.
Since then, journalist Ceri Thomas has been asking who Rob Moore really is and what his motivations were.
