Man Charged for Allegedly Offering a Bribe to an Enforcement Officer
On 18 May 2022, Khan Mohammad Alamin (“Khan”) (40-year-old male Bangladeshi), was charged in Court for alleged corruption.
2. It was alleged that, on 3 February 2022, at around Choa Chu Kang Central, Khan offered a bribe of S$100 to Muhammad Raffli Bin Holip (“Muhammad”), an Enforcement Officer of Certis CISCO Security Pte Ltd., as an inducement for refraining to issue a Notice to attend Court. No bribe offer was accepted by Muhammad and the case was subsequently referred to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB). For his action, Khan faces one charge punishable under Section 6(b) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
