Crime 3: Criminal procedure (part 1)

Imagine that a crime has taken place. Look at sentences 1 – 15 (which explain what happens next) and rearrange the letters in bold to make words and expressions. The first letter of each word / expression is in the correct place. Note that one word is used twice, but with a different meaning. 1 Once the crime has been cedmitomt, it is rotpeder to the police by the vitmic. 2 The police arrive at the sneec of the crime to itsanetiveg what has happened. 3 They look for important cesul and other ecdnevie (for example, fingerprints or a genetic profile) that will help them to identify the crupitl. 4 In some cases, they will also try to establish if the mudso odiranpe (a Latin expression which describes the way in which the crime was carried out) matches other crimes in the area. 5 If they have a stupsce who doesn't have a good iblia, they will then arepnhedp him*. 6 When he is artsrede, the police will conutia him (in other words, they warn him that anything he says might be used later in court). 7 He is then taken to the police station, where he is iewervinted by the iigengstatinv oerfsicf. 8 He is allowed to have a sitocirol present if he wants. 9 If he wants lagle ratprstionneee at this stage, but cannot afford it, the police must provide it. 10 If, at the end of the interview, the police believe that they have the right man, they ceragh him with the crime. 11 A stemnttae is prepared, which is signed by all parties present. 12 The ascedcu is then either redseale on bali (in other words, he is allowed to leave the police station and go home in exchange for a financial 'deposit', on condition that he promises to appear in court when required: if he doesn't appear in court, he will lose this deposit and a twrraan will be issued for his arrest), or he is rdaeedmn in cysodut and locked in a cell to prevent him from running away. 13 More questioning will probably follow: the police need as much pofor as possible (anything that is assdblimie in court will help them to get a cinonctivo), and they may also be interested in any apcosmiccel who may have helped their man. 14 The police will also want to talk to any wisestsen who were present when the crime took place. 15 The next day, the man appears before a metgiasrat in a metgiasrats' court. If the police present their csea properly and have followed all the correct procedures and protocols, he will then be cedmitomt for tirla at a Conwr Court.
