Tommy Robinson, the far-right activist whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, threatened to make Daily Mail journalists and their families "famous", a court heard during his harassment trial.
Robinson left a voicemail message on the phone of Ted Verity, the Mail's editor, as part of an alleged campaign of harassment against newspaper reporters who had written about him, according to the Guardian.
The trial presented evidence that journalists at the Mail feared a "vigilante attack" following Robinson's statements.
The case centres on Robinson's conduct toward media figures who reported on his activities. The specific voicemail threat, in which Robinson said he would make the journalists and their families "famous", formed part of the prosecution's case that he engaged in a pattern of harassment.
No additional context about the trial's timeline, the specific articles that prompted Robinson's response, or other details of the case appeared in the available source material.
