Man Charged for Allegedly Offering Bribes to Two Police Officers

On 3 December 2024, Xu Shunbo (“Xu”) (许顺波, 42-year-old male Chinese National) was charged in Court for allegedly offering bribes to two Singapore Police Force (SPF) officers.

On 13 November 2024, Xu was alleged to have corruptly offered S$150 each to Senior Staff Sergent Muhammad Shammer Bin Mohamed Hassan and Sergeant 1 Kevin Vengatesh, as an inducement to not take enforcement actions against him for littering in public. The two SPF officers rejected the bribes. For his alleged actions, Xu faces two charges punishable under Section 6(b) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
