SEREMBAN: A 34-year-old Immigration officer claimed trial at the Sessions Court here to eight charges of accepting bribes totalling RM885,950 from three individuals over a period of almost four years.
Mohd Shah Ezywan Abd Rahman pleaded not guilty to the charges after they were read out to him before judge Madiha Harullah.
For the first charge, he was accused of accepting RM72,300 from Mohd Jeffrey Mohd Zain at a bank at Putra Point in Nilai, although he knew the latter had an interest in his official work.
He allegedly committed the offence between Jan 11,2017 and Nov 24,2017.
He was also slapped with six charges of accepting a total RM725,250 from Ong Bok Hay at the same bank.
