RIAU - Riau High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) has not been able to arrest 30 suspected perpetrators of corruption cases who are still at large, one of which is former President Director of PT Siak Zamrud Pusaka (SZP), Nader Taher.

"This is our homework to find. We have an AMC (Adyhaksa Monitoring Center) team that monitors the movement of fugitives," said Kajati Riau Akmal Abbas in a press conference related to the 2023 performance achievement, in Pekanbaru, Friday, December 29, which was confiscated by Antara.

Akmal said that for the latest information, Nader Taher's fugitive is still in Germany. The Riau Prosecutor's Fugitive Arrest Team (Tabur) continues to carry out regarding the whereabouts of Nader and other Riau Attorney General's Office fugitives.

Nader Taher is known to be involved in corruption in Bank Mandiri's burglary with a value of up to Rp36 billion. He fled since 2006.

Nader fled during the cassation process, when he was released by law from the Pekanbaru Penitentiary (Lapas) on April 3, 2006.

Nader did not return to prison serving his sentence, regarding the extension of his temporary detention period, based on the stipulation of the Supreme Court (MA).

"If the public knows of its existence, they can contact the state prosecutors throughout Indonesia," he said.

Kajati Riau also said that there were four fugitives who had been arrested in 2023. This figure exceeds the target achievement of only two fugitives.

"The search for fugitives from the target of two people, the realization of four people," said Akmal.
