The letter was reportedly delivered to the judge himself by a person known to the authorities, a judicial source noted.

The letter made reference to a specific pending case and included a request for the intervention of the judicial officer, while hinting at the provision of financial exchange.

Upon reading the contents of the letter, the adjudicator immediately proceeded to file a complaint with the authorities by handing over the letter while proceedings for further action have already been initiated.
