TO: John Olsen

SUBJECT: Upcoming case

Hi John,

Here is an update on the case you handed to me. The defendant has claimed that all he
1 2
did was and there is no
that states that what he did was illegal. I am however a little bit worried about how he is
3
going to behave when he is questioned by the prosecuting .
The last time he was on trial, he used rude and offensive language and the judge actually
4
deemed him to be in of court.

5
It is an unusual case, with very few , but ultimately, I
6
think our client was in acting in the way he did. If we
7
lose, there is no doubt in my mind that he will want to
8
the decision. Please can you find out which is preparing
the notes and ask him to contact me?

Thank you,

Helen

Transcripts

4. Listening comprehension

Speaker: A high-profile cybercriminal has been found guilty of multiple charges in a closely- followed
trial. The defendant extorted large sums of money from unsuspecting victims - using
internet phishing scams, he tricked individuals into providing their personal details. The
prosecution stated that the defendant created fake websites and emails, posing as a
legitimate company, to collect personal and financial information from strangers around
the world.

Speaker: The defendant entered a plea of guilty, acknowledging his liability in the matter. His
conviction marks a significant victory for the police in their fight against cybercrime. The
defendant also faces possible extradition to other countries, where he is wanted on similar
charges. This case serves as a warning to individuals to be cautious when providing
personal and financial information online. There is an ever-growing group of criminals using
the internet to defraud people.

Speaker: The case also highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in the fight
against cybercrime – allowing the public to hear details of how the defendant was brought
down should deter others from committing the same offence.
