Beware of Men Bearing Mobiles

In a Zimbabwe corruption case, the defendant was recorded soliciting a bribe on a mobile phone.

After making much fuss about finding a place “safe to talk” by going to a shopping mall, the main witness for the prosecution calmly recorded the entire conversation on his Siemens SL45 mobile phone, which comes complete with a handy dictaphone facility.

While the defence lawyers want proof that the tape hasn’t been tampered with, it sounds like our man is going down.

Who needs M these days?
