Denies The Existence Of Harun Masiku Is Known, KPK Chairman: Task Force Is Still Working

JAKARTA - The interim chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Nawawi Pamolong, denied reports that fugitive Harun Masiku was already known and would soon be arrested. Nawawi emphasized that the KPK had never discussed Harun Masiku as soon as he was arrested.

"Who said that, no one discussed it," said Nawawi at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, July 1.

Nawawi emphasized that the KPK enforcement task force continues to work to hunt down Harun Masiku. Including examining witnesses and confiscating items suspected of being a clue to Harun's whereabouts. "My task force continues to work to search, that's all goods, if Harun Masiku," he said. Nawawi was reluctant to confirm the deadline for Harun's arrest. According to him, the KPK is still trying.

"We only ordered them to look for him, arrest him. What was the progress, last time yesterday we said we were still working," said Nawawi. As previously reported, KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata emphasized that the search for Harun Masiku, who is still at large, was not related to political affairs. He ensured that all KPK leaders had no interest.

"Actually, it has nothing to do with it, because the leadership itself did not get there. No one contacted a single leader between the four. And I have asked if there was an order from anyone outside? 'Nothing, Mr. Alex'. This is just normative," Alexander told reporters at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, June 11.

Alexander revealed that currently his party is continuing to examine witnesses to find Harun. "Hopefully in one week you will be arrested. Hopefully," he said.

He said this belief arose because his subordinates were said to be starting to find a bright spot. However, Alexander did not want to talk further.

"I think there are indications that the location of Harun Masiku is known by the investigators," he concluded.
