SHAH ALAM: A Sessions Court judge and a deputy public prosecutor (DPP) were charged today with accepting bribes to only fine illegal immigrants nabbed by the authorities.

Judge Azmil Muntapha Abas, 44, and DPP Khairul Azhwa Yusrie Mohamad, 32, claimed trial to the charge under Section 16 (a)(B) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009.

Lawyer Noor Amirul Nazreen, 33, who was jointly charged with the duo, also claimed trial.

The three were charged with accepting RM17,500 from one Wong Chiew Hoong to fine seven illegal immigrants on July 17 at the Kuala Kubu Bharu Sessions Court.
The case was prosecuted by deputy public prosecutor Roslan Mat Nor.

Judge Rozillah Salleh set bail for each at RM12,000 with one surety and ordered the three to surrender their passports.
