JAKARTA - Fugitive from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Harun Masiku has reportedly changed his citizenship and is in Cambodia. The National Police wrote to Interpol Kaboja to clarify the news.
"Interpol Indonesia has sent a request to Interpol Cambodia through channel 1-24/7 regarding the clarification of the issue," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan, to reporters, Wednesday, July 26.
Interpol Cambodia has an obligation to inform the National Police regarding this matter. This is because the Bhayangkara Corps through the International Relations Division (Hubinter) is the party that submitted a request for the issuance of a red notice for Harun Masiku to Interpol.
"So far, Interpol Cambodia has not provided information regarding these rumors," continued Ramadhan.
However, said Ramadhan, with Harun Masiku included in the Interpol red notice list, it should have been detected if the fugitive changed countries through official channels.
"The obligation from Interpol is to detain the subject and inform Indonesian Interpol as a state of issuer or applicant for red notice," said Ramadhan.
Former legislative candidate from the PDI-P Harun Masiku has become a fugitive in the alleged case of giving gifts or promises to state officials regarding the determination of the elected member of the Indonesian House of Representatives 2019-2024 at the General Elections Commission (KPU).
Harun Masiku has been on the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Wanted List (DPO) since January 17, 2020.
In March 2023, Harun Masiku was also rumored to be the marbot of a mosque in Malaysia.
Regarding the fugitive who fled abroad, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday, February 7, 2023, said that his party was making a cooperation scheme with ASEAN member countries to arrest fugitives.
"Currently we are working with several countries in ASEAN to facilitate the search for perpetrators with a 'police to police' scheme," said Sigit.
