(Bernama) - An assistant superintendent with the Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was charged in the Sessions Court here Friday with bribery involving RM250,000.
M. Mohan, 37, who is charged with two counts of bribery, pleaded not guilty and claimed trial to both charges before judge Azhanis Teh Azman Teh.
He is alleged to have solicited RM250,000 from one A. Sinnaiah as an inducement not to proceed with the investigation on the latter for allegedly bribing officials of the National Registration Department and the Immigration Department.
Mohan is also charged with agreeing to receive a bribe of RM200,000 from Sinnaiah for the same purpose.
The offences were allegedly committed at the Selangor MACC office, 14th Floor, Plaza Masalam, Jalan Tengku Ampuan Zabedah, E9/E, Section 9 here, between 11am and 1pm on Oct 22 last year.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohd Asnawi Abu Hanipah suggested bail at RM10,000 in one surety.
Lawyer Ratha Krishnan, who represented Mohan, when requesting lower bail, said his client, who has a wife and child to support, had been with MACC for 15 years and gave his cooperation during investigation of the case.
Azhanis set bail at RM7,000 in one surety and ordered Mohan to surrender his passport to the court. He set four days, beginning Aug 23, for trial.
