SINGAPORE: The prosecution in the sex—for—grades corruption trial involving a law professor, turned against its key witness on the second day of the hearing by impeaching her credibility.
It argued on Friday that star witness Darinne Ko Wen Hui’s testimony on Thursday had deviated from her first statement to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau, taken in April last year.
In a dramatic twist to the closely—watched trial, Ms Ko said she was coerced into making parts of her first CPIB statement.
She said the CPIB recording officers were only willing to record some of what she told them.
The 23—year—old added that in relation to the gifts she showered on Tey, one CPIB recording officer "received specific orders" to record within the parameters of her agreement "with the (CPIB) boss". Full story
