| (20 minutes later) | |
| A Brazilian cleaner has been found guilty of blackmailing a female judge and stealing intimate videos from a male judge. | |
| Roselane Driza was found not guilty at the Old Bailey of another charge of blackmail relating to the male judge. | |
| Driza, 37, had been employed by both of the immigration judges, who were former lovers and cannot be identified. | |
| Driza was remanded in custody until 20 October after the judge said she faced a prison term. | |
| 'Substantial' sentence | |
| The cleaner faces deportation back to Brazil. The two judges were said to be unaware she was working illegally in the UK. | |
| The Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice are deciding whether to hold an investigation into the conduct of the two judges, who were referred to as Judge I (male) and Judge J (female) during the trial. | |
| Driza showed no reaction when the verdict was read out. Prosecutor David Markham said she was of previous good character but was liable for deportation. | |
| Judge Peter Beaumont said he wanted reports before sentencing. | |
| He said: "There is a great deal of background I do not know about her. For example, marriage and community ties. | |
| "Given the nature of the sentence likely to follow, I do not want her hopes raised other than that a substantial custodial sentence will follow." |
