Did ALF-infiltrant work for the farmaceutical industry?

This week the (so called) ALF infiltrator Adrian Radford appeared on Dutch national television where he explained to the broadcaster NOS (

http://www.nos.nl/nosjournaal/artikelen/2009/3/14/140309_nederland_dierenactivisme.html) that the ALF now is based in the Netherlands and operates international actions from there. But, is this true? Can we believe this man? NO!

But, who is this Adrian Radford? Today Dutch media are reporting that he did not infiltrate the ALF for the police. This is confirmed by the Dutch Department of Justice. Also the man declared that some years ago some houses of Dutch animalrights activists were raided and that two activists were arrested. The Justice Department in the Netherlands however has declared that NO arrests were made.

So, whats the real, true story of this so called police infiltrator Adrian Redford? Here, in the Netherlands, we now know that he possibly worked for and got paid by the farmaceutical industry while infiltrating the ALF. Just wondering now if his real background has been checked by the British media and others....

His story on the NOS television yesterday has criminalized the whole Dutch animalrights movement. Thats a shame. Even Dutch MP's responded and are asking now for more actions against extreme animalrights activists, based on a story told by Radford.
