The verdict in the case of the four men charged with false imprisonment and causing serious harm to Kevin Lunney will be delivered in the Central Criminal Court today.
Luke O'Reilly (67), Mullahoran Lower, Kilcogy, Co Cavan; Darren Redmond (27), Caledon Road, East Wall, Dublin 3; Alan O'Brien (40), Shelmalier Road, East Wall, Dublin 3 and a fourth accused man who can't be named have all pleaded not guilty to the charges against the QIH Director at Drumbrade, Ballinagh, Co Cavan on September 17, 2019.
In his evidence to the court last June, Mr Lunney said those responsible for attacking him told him to resign from Quinn Industrial Holdings and not to speak to Gardaí or they would return.
He said he feared for his life and that during the attack was told to resign from QIH, along with three other named directors.
He was told that ongoing court cases and injunctions both in Northern Ireland and the Republic, should be dropped.
Mr Lunney told of how he was pushed into the boot of a car after his vehicle was rammed in the laneway to his house and pulled from it by men wearing balaclavas.
He said he had tried to escape from the boot as the car was travelling from the lane but he received a blow to the face from one of the men involved and was pushed back into the boot.
He was then taken to a container in a yard, inside which he was again told he and three other directors should resign and drop any ongoing court cases.
His face was cut up to four times on each side, his clothes cut off him, his fingernails were cut and the letters QIH were carved into his chest.
He was also doused in bleach in a bid to remove any DNA.
One of the attackers then hit his right leg twice, breaking it.
He was subsequently hit up to 20 times with a wooden implement and required 20 stitches on his face and a pin the length of his lower right leg.
Mr Lunney added that he was put in the back of a van and driven from there before being left by a roadside.
He dragged himself up to 70 metres to a crossroads where he was helped by a passer-by in a tractor who raised the alarm.
The three judges of the non-jury court will deliver their verdicts later this morning.
