Day 067 - 15 Dec 94 - Page 67
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?
