Inspector Mercieca told the court that Nancy had told the witness that the private numbers were phone calls from Elmushraty from prison, but pointed out to the court that such calls are not received as private numbers. The Court asked the witness about the reason for this arrangement. Elmushraty’s brothers had pressured the witness to tell the court that the car was his, the court was told. No progress was made, however, leading the police Inspector to request the court declare the witness hostile.
