Grey-faced officer pleaded his innocence after anti-corruption police allegedly caught him in the act of extorting businessman
A Colombian police officer has been admitted to hospital after swallowing a wad of banknotes he extorted from a businessman.
The officer had demanded payments in return for not arresting his victim on trumped-up charges – but did not know that the businessman had already reported the shakedown to Colombia’s anti-kidnapping and extortion unit.
