A MAN has been arrested for attempting to bribe a police officer with R4000 in exchange for a case docket.
Police said the man was involved in the murder of Morgan Rietgard, who was beaten to death on November 14 last year in Rabie Ridge, Midrand. “Yesterday a man in his 40s contacted the investigating officer. He said he wanted to buy the case docket from him for R4000. The detective commander and his team pounced seconds after the money and case docket exchanged hands. The man was arrested on a charge of corruption,” said police spokesperson Superintendent Eugene Opperman.
He said follow-up investigations by the Ivory Park police station in Thembisa, Ekurhuleni, led to the arrest of another person.
