Day 069 - 19 Dec 94 - Page 37
1 Q. And he said something about that man had told him that you
2 had lied or something?
3 A. He was the ecologist. I could not remember the name,
4 and he was -----
5
6 Q. So what did he say about that particular -----
7 A. We did not talk about him. We talk about some of the
8 people that were there, and that is what I was later --
9 could not remember exactly the last name, but what I did
10 remember was the ecologist.
11
12 Q. We have a statement from the film maker, who says that that
13 man is Sergio Quintana, who was the Marketing Sales
14 Director of Coope Montecillos. I do not know if he is
15 still employed. Do you know if he is still employed? You
16 have seen his face, you said?
17 A. OK. Let me answer. You made a statement and then a
18 question. I will answer both. I do not know if he is an
19 employee, and I do not, in regards to the other statements
20 from those people, I do not believe in those people. Those
21 people lied. Those people lied to government officials.
22 Those people -----
23
24 Q. These people?
25 A. The people that made the film.
26
27 Q. We are talking about -----
28 A. You made a statement -- let me finish. Those people
29 lied to the people in that plant. Those people lied to the
30 people in the plant in the US. From what I saw in the
31 film, they edited so they would give you the wrong
32 impression. So I have no credibility whatsoever for those
33 people. I cannot make comments on those, based on that.
34
35 MR. MORRIS: We are talking about -----
36
37 MR. RAMPTON: No, my Lord. It is no good Mr. Morris -- he may
38 not like the answer. He put what is in Peter Heller's
39 statement to this witness. This witness is, therefore,
40 entitled to say what he makes of that.
41
42 MR. MORRIS: Yes -- without interruption. Thank you very much.
43 So if I can go back -----
44
45 MR. JUSTICE BELL: (To the witness) Have you finished off what
46 you were going to say?
47 A. Yes, I have.
48
49 MR. MORRIS: So if that is Mr. Quintana, you do not know his
50 name, but he is a familiar face around Coope Montecillos?
51 A. Yes. I do not remember talking about him. I talked
52 about Benjamin when I mentioned about the ecologist.
53
54 Q. Did you discuss anybody else in the film such as Mr. Zamora
55 from the Cattle Breeders' Federation?
56 A. No. I do not remember.
57
58 MR. MORRIS: So what explanation was given to you on why that
59 person from Coope Montecillos said what he said about
60 exporting to McDonald's?
