The nervousness, behavior and posture adopted by the man during the test quickly made the agents and examiners suspicious.
He was immediately identified and explored, verifying that inside his clothes and attached to his body, he hid a mobile data receiver and transmitter that received and sent the information, a micro-camera attached to the buttonhole of his sleeve that captured the exam questions and a vibration transmitter that gave the answers to the exam by means of impulses.
After the end of the test and once the fraudulent attempt to carry out the exam was verified, the 39-year-old man, a resident of Almería and of Moroccan nationality, was denounced in accordance with the reform of this year’s Traffic Law, Circulation of Motor Vehicles and Road Safety.
