JAKARTA - Indonesia Calling (IM) 57+ Institute is surprised that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has never arrested a fugitive in the bribery case of former KPU commissioner Wahyu Setiawan, Harun Masiku. This is because he is considered unable to hide for years without being caught.

"It is surprising when it is very difficult to catch people who do not have high positions and have never been trained intelligenceally in carrying out self-conflict efforts," said IM 57+ Institute Chairman Praswad Nugraha to reporters in a written statement, Tuesday, August 8.

Praswad questioned who was protecting Harun. Moreover, the KPK and Polri, who are usually good at finding fugitives, now seem unable to afford it.

"Law enforcers must dare to reveal who protects Harun Masiku's whereabouts," he said.

"Including the potential for internal law enforcement personnel to protect," continued the former KPK employee.

As previously reported, the National Police said Harun Masiku was in the country. This certainty is based on the crossing data they have.

"There is data on the crossing that shows that the person concerned is domestically," said Head of the National Police's International Relations Division (Kadiv Hubinter) Inspector General Krishna Murti after meeting with the KPK structural ranks at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, August 7.

Meanwhile, the KPK confirmed that it would follow up on information on the whereabouts of Harun Masiku, who is said to be in Indonesia. An active search will be carried out to make arrests.

"If there is, we will follow up. We will actively search," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters.

Ali said the KPK had opened its ears about Harun's whereabouts. "So this meeting does not stop, in the future, technically we will follow up through the deputy for prosecution and deputy for information and data," he said.
