Amman: Jordan Integrity and Anti-Corruption Commission (JIACC) Thursday referred an Agriculture Ministry employee to its Public Prosecutor after being caught red-handed in accepting a bribe from a ministry client in exchange for handing over paperwork related to the client's company.
According to Jordan News Agency, the JIACC, in a statement, said the client had earlier reported the bribery request to the commission agents. JIACC personnel went to the location designated to deliver the bribe and caught the employee accepting the payment while in possession of the company's documents.
The commission added that the worker's referral to the JIACC Public Prosecutor aims to take legal action into the bribery case.
