     1   Q.   Which gentleman was he?
     2        A.  He is the son of the father.  I am not sure if he
     3        appeared.  I am not sure if he appeared directly in the
     4        video but he was at that time working in the US.
     5
     6   Q.   If you have not seen the video, it may not be possible for
     7        you to answer, but I merely wanted to know whether you have
     8        met anyone who appeared on that video from Coope
     9        Montecillos.  If you cannot say, just say that you cannot
    10        say.
    11        A.  It is difficult for me to say if I have not seen the
    12        video to say who was every single person who was in the
    13        video, so I cannot give you a direct answer.  I would
    14        suspect that I have not met with the people who appear on
    15        the video, because there have been several changes of
    16        management at Coope Montecillos since that time.
    17
    18   MR. MORRIS:  Can I ask one question:  Mr. Wolfe, has he worked
    19        for a McDonald's supplier?
    20        A.  He is currently supplying us, yes, that is correct.
    21
    22   Q.   As far as I know, he works at some supply plant at Fort
    23        Worth, in Texas; is that the plant he still works at?
    24        A.  I do not know where he work before.  I know he work in
    25        the US some years ago, but in the last few years he has
    26        been in Costa Rica.
    27
    28   Q.   Do you have a supply plant in Fort Worth in Texas, do you
    29        know?
    30        A.  No, we do not.  We do not have any supplier or pattie
    31        manufacturing supplier in Texas.
    32
    33   Q.   Or abattoirs?
    34        A.  We do not consider our suppliers because we have no
    35        direct relationship with them, or agreements or
    36        expectations.  We do not control them.  We have no control
    37        over them.
    38
    39   Q.   This Mr. Wolfe, does he work for Coope Montecillos?  Where
    40        does he work now?
    41        A.  No, he works in a company called Gisa(?).
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just collect your thoughts and ask yourself
    44        whether there is anything you would like to ask tonight, so
    45        that you can reflect on it until the morning.
    46
    47   MR. MORRIS:  So Gisa does supply McDonald's at the moment?
    48        A.  That is correct.
    49
    50   Q.   What with? 
    51        A.  With beef patties. 
    52 
    53   Q.   Beef patties?
    54        A.  That is correct.
    55
    56   Q.   So Coope Montecillos used to be the sole supplier, did it?
    57        A.  Used to be, that is a correct statement.
    58
    59   Q.   How long have you been getting suppliers from Gisa and
    60        others?
