SHAH ALAM: A police sergeant was sentenced to four years’ jail and fined RM20,000 or another nine months’ jail by the Sessions Court here today for accepting a RM3,500 bribe from a man in July last year.
He committed the offence at his office at Menara Choy Fook On in Jalan Yong Shook Lin, Petaling Jaya at 5.40 pm on July 12, 2012.
Judge M.Bakri Abd Majid granted a stay of the sentence pending Mohamad Zamani’s appeal to the High Court but ordered him to settle the fine.
The court also increased the bail amount from RM5,000 to RM8,000 with one surety.
The prosecution represented by Mahamad Sukri Seman from the Malaysian Anti Corruption Agency called 10 witnesses while counsel C.N.Sritharan called three defence witnesses during the trial. — BERNAMA
