Specific Inducement Offered for Avoiding Cargo Truck Inspections

A Royal Malaysian Customs Department enforcement assistant was charged with accepting bribes totalling RM84,400 through 90 transactions as an inducement to refrain from inspecting the cargo trucks belonging to Kalos Enterprise at KLIA. The alleged offences occurred between May 20, 2017, and September 3, with the bribes being accepted from the owner of Kalos Enterprise via online money transfers.
Bribe Transactions and Amounts

Ahmad Emin Nazrul Ahmad Nazrin, 41, faced 90 counts of receiving bribes. These transactions, totalling RM84,400, were conducted through online money transfers at a Maybank branch in Kota Baru. The period during which these alleged bribes were accepted spans from May 20, 2017, to September 3.
Nature of the Inducement

The core of the charges centres on Ahmad Emin Nazrul allegedly accepting these funds as a direct incentive. Specifically, the inducement was for him to forgo the mandated inspection of Kalos Enterprise's cargo trucks at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). This action would have allowed the company's trucks to bypass customs scrutiny.
Legal Proceedings and Bail

Ahmad Emin Nazrul pleaded not guilty to all charges before Judge Dazuki Ali. He is charged under Section 17(a) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009. The prosecution requested bail set at RM40,000 with additional conditions, including monthly reporting to the MACC headquarters and a prohibition on contacting witnesses or accessing customs computer data relevant to the case. However, the court ultimately granted bail at RM20,000 with one surety, along with the stipulated additional conditions. The case has been adjourned for mention on July 21.
