A chief investigator at the Judiciary Police (PJ) has been arrested and charged with accepting bribes and leaking confidential police information, the PJ revealed. The 36-year-old, who started serving at the PJ in 2008, is suspected of accessing police information without authorization from his superior at least 23 times. The information was leaked to a former PJ officer, who had been arrested earlier due to his involvement in usury cases. In return, the usury group offered the chief investigator free food and other entertainment. The PJ officer was detained on September 5 while he was on duty. He has been charged with bribery and the leaking of information, and has been forwarded to the prosecution authority.
