Given the applicant's admissions in the cautioned statement and record of interview, the contextual meaning of 'tea money', the absence of a plausible innocent explanation and the relationship to the renovation contract, the trial judge permissibly inferred the payments were 'sweeteners' falling within s.9(1)(b); the judge did not err in exercising discretion to admit the interview evidence despite procedural breaches because there was no finding of oppression and the admissions were reliable, therefore conviction stands.
