Immigration Has Not Pocketed Information That Riza Chalid Has 2 Passports

Riza Chalid (Ist)

JAKARTA - Acting (Plt) Director General of Immigration Yuldi Yusman said Riza Chalid only holds Indonesian passports. There is no information indicating the fugitive from the Attorney General's Office holds residence documents for other countries.

Riza Chalid is known to have been named a suspect in the alleged corruption case of crude oil management and refinery products. He then reportedly had another passport.

"Until today, we still know that we have one passport, an Indonesian passport, but no other passport has been confirmed yet," Yuldi told reporters at his office, Wednesday, October 8.

As for now, Riza Chalid's passport has been revoked as a system. "For MRC, the passport is July 11, 2025," said Yuldi.

Apart from Riza, passport revocation was also carried out on Jurist Tan, who is a suspect in the alleged corruption case of the chromebook laptop project at the Ministry of Education and Culture. "The revocation was carried out in a system manner," he said.

"This means that the physical passport is still held by the person concerned but has written to the directorate general of immigration in Malaysia to convey to them that or inform them that MRC passports have been revoked in a system manner," continued Yuldi.

As previously reported, the Attorney General's Office (AGO) has opened its voice regarding the revocation of passports for the two fugitives being hunted, namely Mohammad Riza Chalid (MRC) and Jurist Tan. This effort coincided with the submission of a red notice against both of them.

"In principle, the revocation of passports limits the space for movement. If they were in other countries, we would localize their efforts," said Head of the AGO, Anang Supriatna at his office, Jakarta, Tuesday, October 7.

"What is clear is that when a person is revoked by a passport, the person concerned does not immediately disappear to his citizen or the term is stateless but what is clear is that when a person is revoked from his passport, the person concerned cannot leave the country or cannot go to another country," continued Anang.
