Aiding Public Servant

The Supreme Court has confirmed the conviction of a woman for helping her husband hide wealth he acquired through corruption. Her husband, a public servant, was found to have assets far beyond his legal income, and many of these assets were in his wife's name. The Court ruled that by allowing her name to be used to hold these properties, she was actively involved in concealing the crime. This act of "aiding" makes her guilty of abetment under anti-corruption laws. The Court dismissed her appeal and ordered her to surrender to serve her one-year prison sentence.
