A politico nearly collapsed during the arraignment of a high profile officer accused of graft. The politico, said to be a close ally of the man in trouble, appeared visibly shaken, with tears nearly streaming down his cheeks as his pal pleaded not guilty to the charges. Sources claim the two leaders have shared a close relationship and have allegedly been involved in some dealings together for some time. At one point, the politician allegedly feared he might also be implicated in the corruption case.
