JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Johanis Tanak confirmed Harun Masiku would still be wanted. They are not sure that the former legislative candidate (caleg) died because there is no record of death as referred to in the provisions of the Population Law.

"Administratively according to the provisions of the Population Law, if someone dies, it is recorded, reported to the population. Yes, right," Johanis told reporters as quoted on the Indonesian KPK YouTube, Thursday, January 19.

While there is no record of death, Harun must answer his actions. "If the population is formally absent, it means that it is not dead," said Johanis.

"Still alive and will still be sought. That's according to the Population Act," he continued.

As previously reported, Harun 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 interim shifts (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, 2023.
