Judge 'illegally employed' woman | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
An immigration tribunal judge knew her Brazilian cleaner was working illegally in the UK, the Old Bailey has heard. | |
Roselane Driza, 37, had worked for two judges, a man and woman known in court as I and J, but both later sacked her. | |
Ms Driza is accused of blackmailing both and stealing videos from one of them. | |
Giving evidence in her defence, she said that when J employed her the judge was aware of her immigrations status but did not alert the authorities. | |
'Pale and trembling' | |
The court was told that Ms Driza had also worked for judge I. | |
After being sacked by him, Ms Driza and the judge became lovers, she said. | |
Ms Driza said she was unaware that I and J had also been having a relationship. | |
Later, when she was in a flat belonging to I, the woman judge, J, came round to see him. | |
He had refused to answer the door to her and was "pale and trembling", she said. | |
The case continues. |
