KUANTAN: Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) Pahang menahan seorang pegawai imigresen bagi membantu siasatan berhubung dakwaan menerima rasuah dianggarkan lebih RM500,000.

SPRM menerusi kenyataan hari ini memaklumkan suspek berusia 37 tahun itu ditahan selepas hadir memberi keterangan di pejabat SPRM di sini petang tadi.

Siasatan dijalankan mengikut Seksyen 17 (a) Akta SPRM 2009.

Suspek didakwa menerima rasuah secara bulanan antara RM300 dan RM3,000 sejak 2018 hingga 2022 daripada pemilik pusat hiburan, pusat urut, pemilik kebun dan pemilik kilang kayu dalam daerah tempat dia bertugas.

Suapan itu didakwa bagi melindungi pekerja pemilik perniagaan itu daripada diganggu pihak penguat kuasa atas kesalahan tidak mempunyai permit kerja yang sah.
