JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) plans to propose the issuance of a new red notice for its fugitive in the corruption case of procuring an Electronic KTP or e-KTP, Paulus Tannos. The proposal is because the entrepreneur has re-proposed the issuance of a red notice with a new name, "said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur to reporters quoted on Monday, August 14. In addition, the anti-corruption commission has asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for help to communicate with one of the countries in South Africa in order to revoke Paulus' passport. Because, it is known that he now has two passports, one of which is issued by the country. The Indonesian government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will ask the government in the country that issued the passport that is concerned (Paulus Tannos, ed) with Indonesian citizenship and here commits a criminal act, "explained Asep. So that the citizenship is revoked," he continued. Previously, the KPK revealed that Paulus Tannos no longer held an Indonesian passport. As a result, they could no longer arrest him even though they had found the prey in neighboring countries. As a reminder, the KPK is not only pursuing Paulus Tannos. Currently there are two other fugitives being chased.

The first is Kotama, which has been sought since 2017 because of the alleged bribery for submitting a revision of forest function in Riau Province in 2014 to the Ministry of Forestry. Second, former candidate Harun Masiku, who is a suspect in giving bribes to former General Election Commission (KPU) Commissioner Wahyu Setiawan, is still unknown. The search for the former legislative candidate (caleg) is still being carried out at home and abroad.
