Former policeman admits taking bribes to write off tickets

A former policeman who had admitted to accepting bribes to write off traffic related offences was this morning given a two year jail term suspended for four years, a general interdiction and a €670 fine. Ian Grech, 38, of Marsascala had initially pleaded not guilty to receiving bribes, relapsing and committing a crime he was duty bound to prevent. But he admitted to the crime during the hearing of his case. See more details at http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120116/local/court-orders-witness-s-arrest-in-policeman-bribery-case.402554
