Practice question
An overseas recruitment operation has two proven conspirators and four proven victims. The prosecution establishes unlicensed recruitment beyond reasonable doubt, but identifies no third participant. The accused argue that economic sabotage cannot exist without a third recruiter. Which is the best response?
- The argument is correct because syndicate is the only economic-sabotage category
- The argument fails because large-scale illegal recruitment is also economic sabotage, and four victims meet that threshold
- The argument fails only if a third recruiter is later identified
- The argument is correct unless all four victims applied on one day
- The argument fails because every overseas recruitment case is economic sabotage
