First use of spyware to cheat immigration

According to Official Guinness Records,

On Tuesday 11 November 2008, in Kingston Crown Court, UK, two men were convicted of using sophisticated spying technology to assist people to cheat when taking immigration tests. In court, evidence was given the two men had supplied Chinese men with tiny buttonhole cameras attached to shirts, as well as a microphone and a small earpiece. With this equipment, they were able to give advice and feed information to exam candidates, so that they knew which answer boxes to tick. They were uncovered by a member of the public who became suspicious as they sat in a car outside a public building, as there were wires running from under the bonnet to the inside of the car. Police, on searching the car, found laptops, radio transmitters and other surveillance equipment. Police said that they were using sophisticated technology worth thousands of pounds and believe that they have uncovered a significant criminal enterprise and that they will now recover substantial assets from the defendants under the Proceeds of Crime Act. It is thought to be the first case of its kind.
