His lawyer refuses to allow Lewis to answer any questions or to produce any records, unless you first advise him of the basis for the investigation and the evidence, if any, against him. 74. You address these issues and start your questioning of Lewis. He admits to nothing and says that it was Westerman who concocted and executed the scheme. He tells you that in addition to the profits from the theft of gold and scrap, Westerman hired phantom contractors and vendors as consultants and maintenance workers, and diverted parts and supplies from AI for use in his business and for sale to local general aviation mechanics. Lewis says he long suspected Westerman and was conducting his own investigation when he saw you hiding behind the potted palm in Istanbul. He then realized you were on to the case, and decided to withdraw. 75. Lewis says his money comes from his wife and her family, who are from the old South African regime and who smuggled out their wealth in diamonds. B. C. D. What strategy would you have used in the interview? Is Lewis entitled to be represented by counsel at the interview? Is his story credible? What could you do to test it?
