    The prosecution established beyond reasonable doubt that the accused, an immigration officer, corruptly solicited and thereafter received recurrent monetary gratifications as inducements to forbear enforcement against employers of illegal foreign workers; statutory presumption under s50(1) applied and the accused failed to rebut it on the balance of probabilities, therefore conviction under s16(a)(B) and sentencing under s24 followed.

    High Court reduced total imprisonment to one day's imprisonment to run concurrently for both charges and maintained the fines because the prosecution's unexplained delay of over five years in charging the respondent, combined with the respondent's loss of employment/benefits, age, ill-health and first‑offender status, rendered the original custodial sentence unduly punitive in the circumstances.
