A former policeman was jailed 18 months by a Sessions Court for accepting a RM2,000 bribe three years ago.
Konst Abdul Hadi Mohd Noor, 29, was also fined RM10,000 in default three months’ jail for the offence.
Abdul Hadi was charged under Section 11(a) of the Anti-Corruption Act 1997 with taking the amount at 8pm on Sept 16, 2008, from retiree Liew Tet Soon, 50, as an inducement for him not to take action against Liew for alle-gedly being involved in illegal gambling.
Sessions judge Sitarun Nisa Abdul Aziz ordered Abdul Hadi to serve his jail sentence from yesterday.
In a separate case, the judge jailed electrician Mohd Indra Sobri Mohd Azizan, 27, and mechanic Fadzlee Ashraf Jamaludin, 26, five years and three strokes of the rotan each for robbing K. Kamacheh, 35, of RM121 in Batu Ferringhi at 12.30pm on March 19, 2009.
They had snatched Kamacheh’s sling bag containing the cash while she was riding her motorcycle. The duo were granted bail of RM20,000 with one surety each when their counsel Hussaini Abdul Rashid applied for a stay of execution pending an appeal of the sentence to the High Court.
