LONDON—Explosive devices were left outside the chambers of a top London barrister as part of a “campaign of intimidation” by a wealthy businessman with a “serious grudge,” a jury has been told.
Prosecutor Catherine Farrelly told the Old Bailey on Monday that Jonathan Nuttall, 49, “harboured a great deal of animosity” towards Andrew Sutcliffe, KC, a barrister who had represented the National Crime Agency (NCA) and had played a part in the confiscation of £1 million worth of assets from Nuttall and his wife Amanda.
Nuttall denies conspiracy to plant explosive devices on Sept. 14, 2021, conspiracy to transfer criminal proceedings between Feb. 1, 2021 and March 17, 2022, and several counts of refusing to disclose the PIN number or code of a number of digital devices….
