KUALA LUMPUR: Another batch of Customs officers has been charged in the Shah Alam and Sessions courts here with bribery related to liquor smuggling.

Four Customs officers with the rank of assistant superintendent were charged in the Shah Alam Sessions Court with 12 counts of accepting bribes totalling RM129,400. They allegedly accepted the sum as an inducement not to take action against liquor smuggling. They claimed trial to the charges before judge Datuk Noradidah Ahmad yesterday.
