JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata said his party did not know about Harun Masiku's whereabouts until now. Harun is a suspect in the bribery of the DPR RI's interim replacement (PAW) who has been on the run since 2020.

"Until now, we haven't received any information about the whereabouts of the person in question (Harun Masiku, ed)," Alexander said in a press conference broadcast on the Indonesian KPK YouTube, Friday, March 11.

Even so, Alexander emphasized that the search for Harun was still ongoing. In fact, the anti-corruption commission has sent a red notice to NCB Interpol.

"Harun Masiku, of course, we are still looking. In fact, we recently sent a red notice to Interpol and (the search, red) is still ongoing," he said.

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named Harun Masiku as a suspect in giving bribes to KPU Commissioner Wahyu Setiawan since January 2020. This bribery was carried out so that he would have the convenience of sitting as a member of the DPR RI through time shifts or PAW.

Harun's escape began when the KPK carried out an arrest operation regarding this case on January 8, 2020. In the silent operation, the KPK named four suspects, namely Harun Masiku, Wahyu Setiawan, former Bawaslu Member Agustiani Tio Fridelina, and Saeful Bahri.

However, Harun, who was not caught by OTT, is unknown. He reportedly fled to Singapore and is said to have returned to Indonesia.

Apart from Harun, there are actually three other fugitives who have not been caught. They are Surya Darmadi who has been on the run since 2019; Izil Azhar has been fugitive since 2018; and Kirana Kotama who has been fugitive since 2017.
