About Crimes and Confessions
For over forty years the existence of a Garda Heavy Gang has been denied.
This ground-breaking three-part true-crime series looks at three of the most notorious miscarriages of justice cases from the 1970s and 1980 and draws links between them.
Featuring dramatic first-hand accounts from those who were there during this most turbulent time in Irish history, this landmark new series shines a light on the key witnesses involved and re-examines some of the most successful- and controversial- cases amid ongoing rumours of a Garda Heavy Gang.
For the first time the series will draw links between cases and ask vital questions about accountability as some of the victims of injustice speak out after years of suffering.
