JAKARTA - The National Police intervened to investigate the case of using a fake passport used by Adelin Lis under the name Hendro Leonardi. The passport is used when going to Singapore.

"It's ongoing, we're investigating (investigating)," said the Indonesian National Police's Criminal Investigation Officer, Komjen Agus Andrianto, to reporters on Monday, June 21.

During the investigation, the team from the Directorate of General Crimes communicated with the Liaison Officer (LO) in Singapore. Not to forget, coordination with the Immigration is also carried out.

"We will coordinate with Immigration to investigate the false data in the passport used in question, where it was made, how is the issuance process," he said.

"We are waiting for the delegation of the passport issue in question from the AGO (with coordination of its implementation)," continued Agus.

As previously reported, Adelin Lis was successfully discharged on Saturday, June 19. The Attorney General's Office brought him from Singapore on a chartered plane from Garuda Indonesia.

Adelin Lis is a fugitive in corruption and illegal logging cases. At that time he was the Director of PT Keang Nam Development Indonesia who had been sentenced to 10 years in prison by the Supreme Court in 2008.

In addition, Adelin Lis was also fined Rp. 1 billion and a substitute money of Rp. 119.8 billion and a reforestation fund of US$2.938 million.

Adelin has been running from Indonesia since November 2007. In 2018, she was arrested by the Singaporean authorities for a passport forgery case. A Singapore court then ordered him to pay a fine of 14,000 Singapore dollars and be deported.
