JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) admits that the search for their fugitive, former PDI-P (PDIP) candidate Harun Masiku, is still ongoing. The bribery of the former KPU commissioner, Wahyu Setiawan, has yet to be found.

Harun's escape began when the KPK carried out an arrest operation on January 8, 2020. During 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.

"Harun Masiku is also still being sought," said KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata, quoted from the Indonesian KPK YouTube show, Friday, July 29.

Alexander says various ways have been done. For example, working with NCB Interpol to find Harun in other countries and the Police.

However, this process has not yielded results. Moreover, the KPK has limited human resources (HR) as well as information on Harun's whereabouts.

"If later, where is the position in question and it is certain that we will pick it up," said Alexander.

Previously reported, the KPK 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 could easily sit as a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives through time shifts or PAW.

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 on the run since 2017.
