A man, aged 42, who is accused of littering has received two charges for bribing the police.
Allegedly attempted to escape enforcement for littering
According to Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) documents seen by Mothership, Chinese national Xu Shunbo had allegedly attempted to bribe two police officers with S$150 each in a bid to escape enforcement for littering.
The police rejected the bribes, The Straits Times reported.
The incident took place on Nov. 13, 2024.
However, the documents did not state where the alleged incident took place.
The two police officers involved are a senior staff sergeant, Muhammad Shammer Bin Mohamed Hasan, and a sergeant, Kevin Vengatesh.
Should Xu be convicted of his charges of bribery, he faces a jail term of up to five years or a fine of up to S$100,000 for each charge or both.
For littering, Xu could be fined up to S$2,000 if it is his first offence, S$4,000 for a second conviction and S$10,000 for subsequent convictions.
He may also be subjected to a Corrective Work Order (CWO), with repeat offenders required to clean public areas for up to 12 hours.
He is scheduled to return to court on Jan. 2, 2025.
