KABUL: Afghan National Army General has been arrested on the charges of corruption.
A court in Afghanistan has sentenced a military attorney to two years and six months imprisonment after he was found guilty of taking a 50,000 Afs bribe, court officials have said.
General Abdulhai Jurat, the suspect, however claimed the issue was a plot against him, but the court announced its verdict after assessing all documents against the military attorney – including a recording taken when he accepted the bribe.
“We have found that 50,000 Afs was taken from his [Abdulhai’s] left pocket and was thrown in a garden. He was arrested on the spot,” said Atiqullah, an attorney.
“Mr. Attorney claims that I was arrested with the money, while there were several meters distance between me and the money. It was not taken from my pocket or desk or my hand,” said Abdulhai Jurat, the accused, in testimony.
