James Craig (loyalist)
About
James Pratt "Jim" Craig (c. 1941 – 15 October 1988) was a Northern Irish loyalist, who served as a fund-raiser for the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and sat on its Inner Council. He also ran a large protection racket from the West Belfast Shankill Road area, where he lived. Described by journalist David McKittrick as "Belfast's foremost paramilitary extortionist", Craig allegedly colluded with republican organisations such as the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) and Irish National Liberation Army (INLA), providing them with information on key loyalists which led to their assassinations. Aside from controlling rackets and extorting protection money from a variety of businesses, it was claimed that Craig also participated in killings.
