JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has not been able to confirm the whereabouts of a fugitive corruption case, Harun Masiku, even though 14 months have passed. DPR/Parliament Commission III also questioned whether the PDIP politician could be found alive or dead.

"Of the 7, it is known that 2 are outside, 4 more we cannot confirm whether they are inside or outside the country. For Harun Masiku, if it is a matter of life or not, we are still looking for evidence. If it is dead we do not know where his grave is, who buried him", said Firli answering questions from members of Commission III of the DPR during a hearing (RDP) at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, March 9.
