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.
