Sarjan mejar didakwa terima suapan bocor maklumat operasi

A police officer, Roslee Mamat, 43, appeared in court today charged with accepting RM2,400 in bribes for providing police intelligence to an individual, according to reports from the Sessions Court in Kuala Terengganu. The officer, who holds the rank of Sarjan Mejar in the narcotics investigative branch of the IPD Setiu, admitted to the charges after they were read out individually to Judge Azman Mustapha.

Roslee allegedly received payments ranging from RM1,000 to RM400 from an unidentified individual in exchange for early warning of potential police operations or evasive actions to avoid arrest. The alleged bribery took place at a bank branch in Shah Alam, Selangor, and Masjid Gong Terap in Setiu during October and December 2022.

The offense is alleged to have been committed at a bank branch in Shah Alam, Selangor, and Masjid Gong Terap in Setiu in October and December 2022. The charges, under Section 17(a) of the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Agency Act 2009 (Act 694), carry a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to five times the amount of the bribe, or RM10,000, whichever is higher.

Roslee, a father of five, posted RM6,000 bail for all the charges with a surety. He is not allowed to travel abroad with a passport until the case is resolved and must report to the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM) office every month. The case was adjourned until October 27 for the production of documents. The prosecution was handled by Deputy Director of the SPRM Nur Amalina Najwa Mohd Ali, while Roslee was represented by lawyer Mohd Fakhrul Fikri Mokhtar.
