Extradition Agreement Facilitates Attorney General's Office Hunt 247 Fugitives

JAKARTA - Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (JAMPidsus) Attorney General Febrie Adriansyah said the extradition agreement signed by the Governments of Indonesia and Singapore facilitates cooperation in hunting down 247 fugitives for various criminal acts.

Febrie said there were 247 fugitives on the wanted list (DPO). The fugitives came from various criminal acts of corruption and other cases.

“There are 247 DPOs in JAMPidsus. So there are also DPOs (cases, ed.) taxes, customs, so it's not just corruption," said Febrie at the Round Building, Attorney General's Office, Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Thursday, January 27.

According to him, of the 247 JAMPidsus fugitives it is not yet known how many are hiding in Singapore because they have not been indicated in one place.

"But we can't confirm that the DPO is in Singapore, for example in Singapore, it's not indicated yet. His name is DPO fugitives in one place, "said Febrie.

However, continued Febrie, with the extradition agreement, it will be easier for his party to enter Singapore.

"So it's easier for us to be able to work with Singapore," he explained.

Director of Execution and Examination Legal Efforts (Uheksi) JAMPidsus Attorney General's Office Andi Herman said the extradition agreement with Singapore could facilitate the seizure of assets convicts of corruption cases, such as the scandals at PT Asuransi Jiwasraya and PT Asabri (Persero).

"We know that there are several assets whose case handling is suspected to be stored in Singapore. Of course this is a coordinated part," he said.

However, the Director of JAMPidsus Investigations at the Attorney General's Office, Supardi, emphasized that the extradition was not related to the seizure of the suspect's assets hidden in Singapore.

"The assets are MLA (mutual legal assistance) related to cooperation in the legal process. Extradition does not talk about assets," said Supardi.

Previously, Minister of Law and Human Rights (Menkum HAM) Yasonna H Laoly, Tuesday, January 25, signed an extradition agreement between the Government of Indonesia and the Government of Singapore to prevent cross-border corruption practices.

According to Yasonna, the two countries agreed to extradite any person wanted by each country to carry out the sentence.
