A Senegalese court has fined a woman $250 (£190) and given her a one-month suspended prison term for paying a bribe to a policeman, despite the fact she filmed him demanding the money.
Her video, which she filmed in secret and posted online, shows the officer writing out a traffic ticket which he eats after a $5 bribe is paid.
It led to the policeman’s prosecution – a rare event in Senegal. He was also fined $250 and given a two-month suspended sentence.
