A police inspector was sentenced to 20 days in prison and fined RM25,000 for demanding a RM5,000 bribe from a woman for the return of some seized jewellery.

35-year-old Azrul Izman Shadan was accused of accepting the cash from Amy Yip Su Ling at a hotel in Sibu, Sarawak, on March 13, 2015, as an inducement to return the valuables which was in a car that was seized when Yip's husband was detained for a drug-related offence.

He previously claimed trial when he was charged with the offence under the MACC Act in Sibu on September 5, last year.

However, he requested the trial to be heard in Kuching where he is currently based.

When the case was mentioned in the Kuching Sessions Court today, Azrul changed his plea to guilty.
