Policeman found guilty of corr

Another policeman has been found guilty of charges that he accepted bribes and attempted to pervert the course of justice.

Constable Donald Condappa, of the Area Two Police Division, was found guilty on Monday when he appeared before Sarah James in the Port Maria Court Resident Magistrate's Court.

Reports are that Condappa was on duty at the Highgate Police Station in June of last year when a report was made to him regarding assault charges.

The accused was taken into custody and charged.

It is alleged that the cop subsequently approached the accused and told him that he could drop the charges against him for a sum of money.

The accused man agreed and an arrangement was made for a time and place when the money would be paid.

The accused made a report to the Professional Standards Branch and a sting operation was set up.

Condappa was seen taking money from the man and was subsequently arrested and charged.

A report was made to the Director of Public Prosecution who ordered that Condappa should be brought before the courts.

Condappa is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday.
