A gambling operator was charged in court on Friday with giving bribes totalling $209,000 to five police officers and three individuals over a two-and-a-half year period.
Chua Chin Hoe faces 66 charges in all, including four under the Common Gaming Houses Act. The 55-year-old is accused of giving bribes of $1,000 to $47,700 to the officers in return for their help in police-related matters.
The five who allegedly took money are: Staff Sergeant Tan Chee Kwong alias Steven, $1,000; Staff Sergeant Lim Kay Heng alias David, $3,350; Sergeant Teng Jing King, $7,000; Assistant Superintendent Koh Tian Tiong alias Mark, $47,700; and Staff Sergeant Chong Soon Ping, $5,000.
Chua also allegedly bribed groups of three to five officers - in the form of entertainment totalling $1,650 - at a KTV lounge in Eminent Plaza and JD Pub at Golden Mile Complex between 2006 and 2007.
He allegedly ran Internet cafes as gaming houses at Joo Chiat Road, Telok Blangah Crescent and Pearl Centre between 2005 and 2007.
Chua, who was represented, is out on police bail of $100,000. His passport has been impounded.
The case will be mentioned on Jan 13.
If convicted, he could be fined up to $100,000 and/or jailed for up to five years on each charge of corruption.
The maximum penalty under the Common Gaming Houses Act is a $200,000 fine and five years' jail on each charge
