This auction is for part of a British MI5 bugging device found hidden in the floorboards of a Sinn Féin office in Belfast in September 2004. Included is a handwritten letter of authentication from Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams. The handwritten letter has been framed and there is a display board for the device.
This is a unique opportunity. A historical item such as this has never before been made available and it’s highly unlikely that it will happen again.
The auction was pulled by ebay, as it “breached listing guidelines”.
MI5 Sinn Fein bug not for sale
For some reason this hasn’t been widely circulated this side of the Irish Sea – thanks for the laugh ! (I already had the doubt over our government’s good faith …)
