　　Passage Two

　　Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

　　Many bankers may be worried about whether some fancy product dreamed up might yet lead to a visit from the police. Daniel Dantas, a financier, who has profited by operating at the middle place where business and government meet in Brazil, has been opening the door to find the police outside for much of the

　　past decade. On December 2nd he was convicted of a less sophisticated crime: trying to bribe police officers. Mr. Dantas, who has acquired great notoriety in Brazil, was fined $ 5 million and sentenced to ten years in prison. He has appealed against his conviction.

　　The charge stems from a police investigation into money-laundering (洗钱)known as Operation Satiagraha. It grew out of a previous investigation into Mr. Dantas use of Kroll, a security consultancy, to watch over his business partners. During this investigation the police seized a computer from Opportunity, Mr. Dantass investment bank, which contained data from the mid-1990s to 2004 and apparently showed suspicious movements of money.
