An Old Bailey jury has retired for a second day in the case of a businessman accused of selling fake bomb detectors to various countries, including Malta.

James McCormick, 56, of Langport, Somerset, denies three counts of fraud.

The prosecution allege that the detectors, which were sold to police, military and governments, had no scientific basis.

But McCormick has told the court the detectors worked and he did not have complaints from customers.

The case was revealed in January 2011.

The BBC had carried comments by Patrick Cuschieri, head of security at Malta International Airport, who had told the BBC that the so-called "bomb detectors" were little more than toys. He had evaluated an example when he worked for the Customs Department.

The Malta police had denied that the equipment was 'little more than toys' but said they were in contact with the UK authorities.
