That's the Mark Jenner who also spent years having a relationship with the environmental activists he was spying on.
It reminds me of a story about, after the 2015 terrorist attacks in France, a police group was created to infiltrate and spy on racists and anti-muslims hate groups. In one occasion, all the members were the cops...
On a similar note, the UK's longest ever trial[1] was a libel case about a leaflet that was discovered, 16 years later, to have been co-written by an undercover cop. One of the defendents unwittingly had a two year relationship with another undercover cop.

I missed that detail when it came out! The whole thing was an extraordinary business.
Were those cops also undercover agents or genuine members?
I wasn't clear, all the cops were part of the same police group, working undercover to foil any racist/anti-muslim attack.
Well, after it was discovered, of course they would all have been undercover... even if they weren’t before, so to speak.
