The wife of a wealthy businessman accused over a plot to bomb England's legal heartland won a lottery jackpot of £2.4 million, it has emerged in court.
Jonathan Nuttall, 50, allegedly targeted two injury lawyers manchester who had acted for the National Agency in a £1.4 million legal wrangle involving his wife Amanda.
He had allegedly become unhappy at the prospect of losing his family home, Embley Manor in Romsey, Hampshire, to pay off a settlement with the NCA, the Old Bailey was told.
On September 14 2021, two devices, one said to be a potentially viable explosive, were planted at Gray's Inn in where Andrew Sutcliffe KC and Anne Jeavons worked.
Afterwards, Mrs Jeavons was asked who might have a grievance and Nuttall's name came up, the court heard.

The background to the case was that Nuttall and others had been the subject of a money-laundering probe by the NCA dating back to 2011.
In April 2019, an order was made for £1.4 million worth of assets to be recovered from Mrs Nuttall.
Cross-examining Mrs Jeavons, Nuttall's barrister, George Carter-Stephenson KC, stressed the settlement was made on a 'commercial basis without admitting the NCA was right about anything'.
To meet payments totalling £1.4 million over eight months, Mrs Nuttall took out a loan with a firm in Australia, jurors heard.
After the payments were completed, the NCA refused to accept them over a suspicion it could have come from crime - putting the Nuttalls' home at risk, the court was told.
