     2   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let me just find that.  I have just noticed
     3        that in the paragraph which had the 60,000 francs, it is
     4        "assistance in finding a new job, well paid..."
     5
     6   MR. MORRIS: "....outside of McDonald's."
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  "...outside of McDonald's."  I will add "in
     9        all McDonald's restaurants".  Yes.
    10
    11   MR. MORRIS:  I am just -----
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That speaks for itself then, does it not?
    14
    15   MR. MORRIS:  It does, yes.  "In addition, I was receiving
    16        anonymous telephone calls at night at my home.  I was
    17        accused of taking sick leave and working in another job
    18        during my absence.  When the social security inspectors
    19        verified that this was not the case, McDonald's dropped
    20        this charge.  During the illuminations festival" -----
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  In the original, is it not, "I was accused of
    23        working at night"?
    24
    25   THE INTERPRETER:   On the black market, without declaring my
    26        income, moonlighting.
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Yes.
    29
    30   MR. MORRIS:  So, it should say "working in another job at
    31        night"?
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, no.  That was my mistake.  It means "in
    34        the black", and I thought it meant at night, which shows
    35        the limitations on my French.  But it is their phrase,
    36        obviously, for our "moonlighting".
    37
    38   MR. MORRIS:  Right.
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  "Moonlighting in another job during my
    41        absence".  Yes.
    42
    43   MR. MORRIS:  Moonlighting.  To continue: "When the social
    44        security inspectors verified that this was not the case,
    45        McDonald's dropped this charge.  During the illuminations
    46        festival (December 8th 1992), the restaurant on rue de
    47        la Republique received bomb threats, and I was accused of
    48        being the perpetrator.  I was questioned by the police and
    49        held in custody before being let go, due to lack of proof."
    50 
    51        Can I just ask, who accused you of being the perpetrator of 
    52        the bomb threats? 
    53        A.  It was my restaurant; the management of my restaurant
    54        made a complaint against an unknown person suspected to be
    55        Lamti Hassen.
    56
    57   Q.   Made a complaint to who?  Who did they make a complaint to?
    58        A.  At the police station.
    59
    60   Q.   Right.  "Following a hold-up at the restaurant, an employee
