Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s Central Office for the Fight Against Corruption (GCCC) has arrested a judge of the Maputo Provincial Court, in the city of Matola, on suspicion of corruption.<\/p>\n

The judge (who has not been named) was found in possession of 20,000 meticais (about 312 US dollars, at the current exchange rate), believed to be a bribe.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s anti-corruption watchdog was tipped off about unlawful monetary charges within the court by a high ranking judge in exchange for favours in a case before the court.<\/p>\n

The Judge was caught red-handed with the sum, according to a report carried by the independent television station, STV.<\/p>\n

A press release issued by the GCCC stated that there is very strong evidence of offences such as bribery and malfeasance.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter having gone through the necessary procedure, on Monday the accused appeared before the Supreme Court of Appeal for the first hearing and will remain in custody,\u201d the press release added.<\/p>\n

The Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office has confirmed the arrest and also pledged to unveil more details about the case within the next few days.<\/p>\n
