Mr Lunney, who was subjected to what has been described as a “barbaric” ordeal, in his first public interview recounted how he was abducted and tortured by the gang. Mr Lunney recalled how the car smashed into his Jeep and how the gang broke the windows of his vehicle and dragged him outside. As he tried to escape he caught Mr Lunney by the foot. However, the QIH directors and their families continue to live in fear. Mr Quinn has repeatedly condemned the campaign of intimidation and violence, and described the assault on Mr Lunney, one of his former executives, as “despicable and totally barbaric”.
