Chinese nationals convicted for bribery
Two Chinese nationals were arrested by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) for bribery during a sting operation.
Siyong (Erick) Xu, 55, and Huaifen Yang, 54, were arrested on 5 September at the Old Power Station after they had paid a bribe to a detective inspector of the Anti-Money Laundering and Combatting of Financing of Terrorism Division of the Namibian Police.
They gave the officer N$4 000 to close an investigation in which Yang is implicated.
Both Chinese nationals are employed as managers at a local construction company.
According to the ACC the two men appeared in court on 7 September where they pleaded guilty and were consequently convicted of bribery.
The case was postponed to 12 September for sentencing. They were granted bail of N$30 000 each, pending their sentencing.
