Mar 21: Blogger Wan Muhammad Azri bin Wan Deris, the man behind UMNO's explicit blog Papagomo which specialises in vilifying opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, was once convicted of bribery to help a friend arrested for drug abuse.
The blogger's name can be found on the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's online database showing those convicted of bribery.
According to the entry (see here), Azri (pic), who was slapped with a RM100 million defamation suit by Anwar today, was found guilty on two counts of bribery to release Mohd Rahyudi bin Mokhtar, who was found with syringes used for drug abuse, in 2004.
Azri, a former police traffic officer at Ampang police station, violated Section 10(a)(bb) of the Corruption Prevention Act 1997 (Act 575), according to information on the MACC database, and was sentenced to 8 months' imprisonment, or 14 days' jail and RM10,000 fine.
The High Court and Appeal Court have both rejected his appeals.
