A businessman has been found guilty of plotting to plant two bombs in London.
Jonathan Nuttall, 50, was convicted at the Old Bailey of planning to plant the explosives in London’s legal district over a £1.4m legal wrangle with the National Crime Agency (NCA).
Nuttall orchestrated the plot aimed at two lawyers acting for the NCA over the financial dispute.
Andrew Sutcliffe KC was one of his targets and the two devices were planted in Gray’s Inn where he works in September 2021 which prompted an evacuation and road closures.
The Old Bailey previously heard one of the devices, which contained a smoke grenade, was left near a bench but was made safe.
The other device was deposited outside Mr Sutcliffe’s chambers also came with a smoke grenade let off to ensure “maximum alarm was caused”.
