'It was very apparent that ALS was viewed as nonsense by both the court staff and solicitors present'
Defendant turns out to be ex-ALS ‘linguist’
'[...] the defence interpreter told me that his friend - the defendant (who needed an interpreter), used to work for ALS, but they never paid him, so he stopped providing his services to them'
