Former editor denies Denis O'Brien graphic put businessman in 'bad company'

Denis O'Brien was among eight men listed in a graphic alongside a front page newspaper article headlined "22 men and €26 billion" because Mr O'Brien is well-known and is, in football terms, "Barcelona", a High Court jury has been told.

Ian Kehoe, former editor of the Sunday Business Post (SBP), denied the graphic, which listed the names of eight men below the words "Top Secret", put Mr O'Brien into "bad company".
