A foreign national (WNA) from Japan with the initials YY who became an Interpol fugitive in the pursuit of the National Police's International Relations Division (Divhubinter) was arrested in the waters of Batam City.
"The arrest of this fugitive is the result of a collaboration between the Class I Immigration Special for the Batam TPI and the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Riau Islands in collaboration with the Barelang Police Satpolairud, as well as the Police Divhubinter," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Public Relations Division Kombes Erdi A. Chaniago told reporters, Wednesday, February 21.
Erdi explained that the Japanese foreigner's arrest began when personnel from the Barelang Police Satpolairud patrolled the waters of Pulau Bulan, Bulang District, Batam City on January 31, 2024.
From the patrol, it was found that a boat contained seven people. The seven were also checked for identity.
"Seven people with identity information, namely one man as a tekong, one man as a crew member, and five passengers consisting of one foreign man (WNA), two men and two women who are Indonesian citizens," he said.
After interrogation at the location, it was found that there was a suspected practice of sending non-procedural Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) to Malaysia.
The Barelang Police Satpolairud also found that the Japanese foreigner did not have an identity card and other important documents.
All passengers including tekong and crew were then taken to the Barelang Police Satpolairud Office for further examination.
"On February 2, 2024, one foreigner was handed over a prisoner by the Barelang Police Satpolairud to the Batam TPI Special Class I Immigration Office," he said.
