A second person has been arrested in connection with a bribery case involving a Department of Vehicle and Drivers’ Licensing department employee.

The Cayman Islands Anti-Corruption Commission announced the arrest of a 22-year-old man Wednesday in connection with an ongoing bribery and fraud probe. The man, who was not charged, was released on police bail pending further enquiries.

Commission officers said last week’s arrest was related to the Oct. 12, 2017, arrest of a 31-year-old female public officer, a DVDL employee. The woman has not been charged with any crimes in the investigation.
