Overview

HN95 Stefan Scutt 'Stefan Wesolowski' was an SDS undercover officer who infiltrated the Hackney South Branch of the  Socialist Workers Party between November 1985 and June 1988. 

Scutt was sacked from the SDS in 1988 following a decline in his productivity as an undercover officer. Although he would have continued to work for Special Branch in another capacity, had he not then gone AWOL and suffered a mental breakdown, resulting in his arrest. Although Scutt appeared to have committed multiple disciplinary offences following a cover-up by senior police officers, he was eventually retired on medical grounds.
