A businessman has been jailed for eight years for planting two fake bombs outside the legal chambers of a barrister who had represented the National Crime Agency in a confiscation hearing which led to him losing £1.4 million.

Jonathan Nuttall, 50, his driver Michael Sode, 58, and a former royal marine, Michael Broddle, 47, were convicted last month of conspiracy to plant explosive devices outside the barrister’s office in Gray’s Inn Road, central London, on Sept. 14, 2021.
