There Are Still Fugitives Who Have Not Been Arrested, KPK: This Is Our Debt

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has successfully arrested the former Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA) Nurhadi, Hiendra Soenjoto. Even so, there are still a number of other KPK suspects who are still on the run, one of which is Harun Masiku.

Responding to this, KPK Deputy for Enforcement Karyoto said that he would continue to evaluate his team engaged in the field to be able to arrest a number of fugitives, including the former PDI-P legislative candidate. This is because this anti-graft agency feels that it still owes the community a debt if it has not been able to arrest the perpetrators of the rasuah crime.

"This is our debt to other DPOs," said Karyoto in an online press conference broadcast on the KPK RI YouTube account, Thursday, October 29.

"We have done various evaluations which need to be added, which ones we need to cooperate with other agencies," he added.

With all these evaluations, it is hoped that they can immediately find out the whereabouts of the fugitives, "and hopefully in the near future they can be arrested against other DPOs," he said.

Meanwhile, regarding Hiendra Soenjoto's arrest, Karyoto expressed his gratitude to all parties, both the community who helped and the entire enforcement team. He said his team had worked hard to arrest the Director of PT Multicon Indrajaya Terminal who had been on the run since February 11.

"We know how our colleagues in the field are really working as hard as they can. Alhamdulillah today we can be arrested," he said.

It is known, in the era of Firli Bahuri's leadership, cs, there were a number of suspects in corruption cases who were still at large. They are Harun Masiku, Samin Tan, and the married couple Sjamsul Nursalim and Itjih Nursalim.

Previously, Hiendra Soenjoto was arrested in an apartment owned by his friend in the BSD area, South Tangerang. Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission Lili Pintauli Siregar said that the arrest of Hiendra, who is the Director of PT Multicon Indrajaya Terminal (MIT), started with information conveyed by the public on Wednesday, October 28 yesterday.

"With this information, KPK investigators coordinated with the apartment manager and security officers to scout and wait for the opportunity to enter the apartment unit in question," said Lili in an online press conference broadcast on the KPK RI YouTube account, Thursday, October 29.

Even though he had been lurking since Wednesday afternoon, Lili said that the arrests were only made today at around 08.00 WIB.

"When HS's friend (Hiendra Soenjoto) wanted to take the items in his car, equipped with an arrest and search warrant, investigators witnessed by the apartment manager, security officers, and police immediately went in to arrest HS who was in the unit in question," he explained.

After the arrest, Hiendra and a friend were then carried to the KPK office with a number of evidences, such as two vehicles that were allegedly used to carry out the escape, communication tools, and personal belongings for later investigation.

Furthermore, Hiendra will be detained for the first 20 days at the KPK detention center Pomdam Jaya Guntur branch. However, he will first occupy an isolation cell at the KPK Detention Center, Kavling C1 Branch.
