The trial of a man accused of intimidating a victim of attempted murder and trying to persuade him not to give evidence at the trial of his attacker has opened at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Mr Akef Alquasar, who is now in the witness protection program, was shot in the head by Darren Larkin (aged 24) at the Blanchardstown Leisureplex two years ago.
