A father-of-one accused of taking part in a €2.28m "tiger kidnapping" robbery was told his life was in danger after the incident, a trial has heard.

THE trial of two men accused of taking part in a €2.28 million tiger kidnapping robbery has heard evidence of dozens of phonecalls allegedly made by the raiders during the incident.

A man accused of taking part in a €2.28m tiger raid five years ago paid €10,000 in cash for a car a month after the robbery, a court has heard.

A crime scene expert has said he uncovered evidence of tactics commonly used by subversives when investigating a €2.28m "tiger kidnapping" four years ago.
