JAYAPURA - The Director of Criminal Investigation at the Papua Police, Kombes Faizal Rahmadani, stated that the KPK suspect who served as the Regent of Central Mamberamo, Ricky Ham Pagawak (RHP) was suspected to be in Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea.

"Indeed, from the report received by RHP, it is suspected that he was in Port Moresby after previously entering through Wutung, the RI-PNG border," he said in Jayapura as reported by ANTARA, Monday, August 8.

RHP reportedly entered PNG territory through a footpath on 15 July.

From the report, it was revealed that RHP was traveling to Port Moresby via Vanimo by plane.

"It has not been confirmed that the personal documents used by RHP during his escape have not been confirmed," said Kombes Faizal.

Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Sector Ali Fikri separately said the KPK was still coordinating with NCB Interpol Indonesia regarding assistance in finding DPOs on behalf of Ricky Ham Pagawak.

The application letter was sent some time ago.

The KPK hopes that with this synergy, Ricky Ham Pagawak can be found soon and hopes for community support in an effort to find him.

RHP became a suspect in the 2013-2019 bribery and gratification case in Central Mamberamo Regency.
