JAKARTA - The Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD will summon 4 government institutions to request the latest reports on the fugitive in the Cessie Bank Bali case who has not been arrested since 2009, namely Djoko Tjandra.

The four government institutions to be summoned are the National Police, the Attorney General's Office, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, and the Ministry of Home Affairs. He felt the need to make this summons because he had not heard new information regarding the fugitive.

"There has been no report yet but in the near future we will summon four institutions, namely the Ministry of Home Affairs regarding population, police and the Attorney General's Office regarding law enforcement and security as well as the Ministry of Law and Human Rights regarding immigration. We will coordinate," Mahfud said in his written statement, Tuesday, July 7.

Summons of these 4 institutions, he continued, needed to be done so that the public would know what happened in the process of arresting Djoko Tjandra. This aims to avoid suspicion from the public because this fugitive has never been caught.

"In a democratic country, people must know all the processes that will not reveal secrets so that someone can run away more. All processes must be open and highlighted by the community," he said.

It is known that Djoko Tjandra has been a fugitive in the Cessie Bank Bali case since 2009. After being slippery like an eel, Joko shocked the public again after it was discovered that he had entered Indonesia and filed a case review (PK) related to his case at the South Jakarta District Court.

The news about the submission of a judicial review (PK) made by Joko Tjandra was confirmed by Attorney General ST Burhanuddin some time ago and delivered in a joint working meeting with Commission III of the DPR RI.

Although he confirmed the registration, Burhanuddin did not know for sure whether Djoko was present at the PK submission. Even so, he said he had ordered his staff to make arrests if Djoko was to attend the trial later. "For PK, the requirement is to attend and when we attend we will make arrests," said Burhanuddin, Monday, June 29.
