Justice Suria Kumar Durairaj Johnson Paul noted that overall documentary evidence, such as a book that kept records of money paid to Che Fadzlie Izwan Che Johari, as well as witnesses' testimonies showed the existence of a syndicate which protected overloaded lorries.
According to the facts of the case, Fadzlie was involved with a ‘tonto’ syndicate – a network of paid informants and middlemen who trail, monitor, and harass road transport law enforcement officers.
