LONDON—A wealthy businessman has denied he paid “hush money” to a man who had been arrested and accused of planting explosive devices outside the chambers of a top London barrister as part of a “campaign of intimidation.”
Jonathan Nuttall, 49, 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.
