Two policemen claimed trial at a Sessions Court for allegedly agreeing to receive a RM4,000 bribe from a trader as an inducement to release two Thai women in police custody.
Insp Mohd Azrul Azza Mat Jubin, 26, and Konst Mohd Fitri Hayat Ahmad, 23, pleaded not guilty before judge Mohd Bakri Abdul Majid here yesterday.
The offence was allegedly committed at the criminal investigation department’s office at the Seri Kembangan police station on Dec 24 last year.
The two Thai women were arrested on Dec 18.
The two cops were charged under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act which provides for a jail term of not more than 20 years and a fine of up to five times the amount of the bribe.
The court fixed bail at RM5,000 in one surety each and set Oct 17 for mention.

MACC prosecuting officer Mahamad Sukri Seman appeared for the prosecution.
