Two people were arrested after they allegedly tried to offer a bribe of N.dollars 50 000 to an official of the Namibia Revenue Agency (NamRA) in Windhoek.

NamRA in a media statement on Tuesday said the two, a Chinese man and Angolan woman, were arrested following a sting operation by NamRA and the Anti-Corruption Commission.

The man was arrested at the NamRA offices on Monday, while the woman was arrested at the premises of the Anti-Corruption Commission the next day.

“The bribe was intended to influence the release of N.dollar 6 million belonging to a trading entity (whose name is currently withheld), which has been subject to intervention (freezing),” it said.

The suspects are expected to appear in court in due course, it read.
