An examinee of a heavy truck driving test who allegedly bribed an examiner of the Transport Bureau during the test yesterday afternoon (4th May) was charged with bribery. The case was transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office today.

A man surnamed Chou retook the heavy truck driving test yesterday because he failed the test previously. When he drove to the roundabout between Estrada do Istmo and Estrada da Baía de Nossa Senhora de Esperança, he offered the examiner a red packet which enveloped MOP300 in attempt to bribe the latter so that he could pass the test. However, the examiner refused to take it and reported the case to the CCAC through the department he worked for.

In the course of investigation, someone confessed that since it was the second time he took the test, he offered the money to the examiner in order to pass the test.

Under the current Penal Code, briber is subject to an imprisonment up to 3 years.
