Rabbit was the great unknown to the detectives. There was great consternation when it turned out not to be Adil El Arbi or Hakim Chatar. ‘A top achievement but completely unexpected.

How did the politician combine this with his agenda? ‘The recordings were in the summer when there were fewer appointments, and also on Sundays.
