Latest News Fugitive Harun Masiku, KPK: If You Are Still Alive You Can Find It

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said it was continuing to search for suspects who were included in the wanted list (DPO). Even though they moved around the location of hiding.

This was conveyed by KPK Deputy for Enforcement Karyoto when he was asked about the existence of a number of fugitives who were included in the DPO, such as Harun Masiku who was a bribe for the former KPU Commissioner Wahyu Setiawan and the boss of PT Borneo Lumbung Energy and Metal Tbk (BORN) Samin Tan.

"Yesterday I told you how difficult it is (to catch, red) people moving. If the person stays or stays in a place, he might be able to trace it," he told an online press conference, Friday, October 23.

Karyoto emphasized that all KPK fugitives, including Harun and Samin, would continue to be pursued and he was optimistic that anti-graft agencies could do this.

Especially if you look at the arrest of prisoners in the case of collection rights or cessie Bank Bali Joko Tjandra who was arrested by the police after being on the run for years.

"We know that there are many DPOs. It has been Joko Tjandra's years from 2009," he said.

"So hopefully if it is still in Indonesia and still alive it can be found soon," he added.

Furthermore, regarding Samin Tan, Karyoto emphasized that the anti-graft agency will continue to investigate the development of the PLTU Riau-1 bribery case. Moreover, until now the KPK has not issued an investigation termination warrant (SP3) even though they now have the authority to issue it.

"I convey that during 2020 the termination of investigations is only for suspects who have died. There is nothing else," he said.

"It's not easy for us to stop investigations. Indeed, the KPK was not given that authority in the past, but that does not mean that the KPK can use that authority arbitrarily. It must be careful and go through a long discussion process," he concluded.
