Court acquits policeman over alleged bribe from suspected thief
Alor Setar High Court finds no evidence that Nazuli Nazari solicited or agreed to receive RM2,500 as an inducement to close a case.
A police officer named Nazuli Nazari has been acquitted of accepting a RM2,500 bribe from a suspected thief in a Malaysian court. The Alor Setar High Court ruled that the initial conviction was unsafe and quashed the two-year prison sentence and RM20,000 fine originally handed down by the sessions court. Judicial Commissioner Aimi Zaini Azhar stated that there were significant issues with the prosecution's case, particularly regarding the alleged location and method of the money handover, which the lower court did not examine.
The judge pointed out that the sessions court had accepted Nazuli's testimony without sufficient corroborating evidence, thus erring in its decision.
