JAKARTA - Head of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Ali Fikri, revealed that Harun Masiku's search and arrest warrant was signed as the basis for searching for certain areas. This was conveyed by Ali in response to the statement by KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri who said he had signed a search letter and the arrest of his fugitive. This step is to ensure that Harun's search continues. "This “ (This letter, ed) is the basis for moving to a certain place,” Ali told reporters quoted on Thursday, November 16. Ali said this letter was not only issued now but has been several times. “ Whenever it is needed (the letter can be signed, red),” he said. "“Depending on incoming information," continued Ali. As previously reported, Firli admitted that he had signed Harun's search and arrest letter since three weeks ago. The fugitive, who has been on the run since 2020, is certain to continue to be searched even though it has not yielded results. "Even Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur, said Firli, had gone to neighboring Indonesia and the results were nil. “ Even though the information was strong enough," he said at a press conference at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, November 14. Harun Masiku is a suspect in giving bribes to former KPU commissioner Wahyu Setiawan. This gift was given so that he could sit as a member of the DPR through the interim replacement (PAW). He has been on the wanted list (DPO) since January 29, 2020. Most recently, the KPK informed that the National Central Bureau (NCB) of Interpol Indonesia had issued a red notice on behalf of Harun Masiku on Friday, July 30.

In carrying out this search, the KPK has collaborated with a number of parties such as the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police and the Director General of Immigration at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham).
