SHAH ALAM, Oct 29 — An airline company's senior officer pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court today to failing to report a bribery transaction made to him to the authorities.
Mohd Razif Hassan, 35, allegedly received a RM1,000 gratification, which was transferred online into his account by a 52-year-old man in return for the accused to help speed up a dealing between his engineering company and the airline.

The accused, represented by lawyer Shahidah Muslimah Roslan, was also ordered to surrender his passport to the court, report himself at the nearest police station once a month, and not intimidate witnesses.
The court set November 29 for mention. The prosecution was conducted by prosecuting officer Mohd Yasri Yahaya
