JAKARTA - Minister of Law Supratman Andi Agtas said the Singaporean authorities asked for additional documents for the extradition of fugitives in the corruption case of the Electronic KTP procurement project (e-KTP), Paulus Tannos. The Indonesian government is currently trying to fulfill the request.

"While there are documents that are being requested by the Singaporean authorities," Supratman told reporters at his office, Kuningan, South Jakarta, Tuesday, April 15.

In coordination with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), continued Supratman, the fulfillment of documents is being carried out through the Central Authority and International Law Team (OPHI) of the Directorate General of General Legal Administration (Ditjen AHU). It is hoped that the request can be fulfilled before March 30.

"God willing, before April 30, the document will be sent immediately. OPHI in this case at any time communicates with the KPK," he said.

"What kind of document, ask the KPK," continued Supratman.

Previously reported, Paulus Tannos, who is the President Director of PT Sandipala Arthapura, was finally arrested by Singaporean authorities after being on the wanted list since 2021. He was named a suspect in the corruption case in the procurement of electronic identity cards (e-KTP) by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in 2019.

At that time he was named a suspect by the KPK along with three other people, namely Isnu Edhi Wijaya as the former President Director of the Indonesian National Printing Corporation (PNRI); 2014-2019 DPR RI member Miryam S Haryani; and former Head of the Information Technology Technical Team for the Application of e-KTP Husni Fahmi.

In repatriation through the extradition process, a number of required files include a request letter from the Minister of Law; legalization certificate; identity; resummation to a letter from the Attorney General. All of them have been fulfilled by both the Ministry of Law, the KPK and the Attorney General's Office.
