Bribe recorded on a mobile phone

MobHappy reports on a Zimbabwe corruption case, where 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."

"The defence lawyers want proof that the tape hasn’t been tampered with".
