Nazuli Nazari was cleared of bribery charges after the court determined there was insufficient evidence to support claims that he had solicited or agreed to accept RM2,500 from a suspect in exchange for closing a theft case.
The High Court's decision marks the conclusion of the legal proceedings against the officer, who had faced allegations of misconduct in connection with his handling of the investigation.
The acquittal comes after the court examined evidence presented during the trial, ultimately finding the prosecution had not established a case beyond reasonable doubt. The ruling underscores the importance of substantiation in corruption-related charges against law enforcement personnel.
The case had drawn attention to accountability measures within the police force and the judicial system's role in adjudicating such matters in Kedah.
