Extradition Agreement: Fugitives to be Announced After Ratification
|
The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) will announce the names of fugitives who are wanted for corruption and are suspected to have escaped to Singapore, after the extradition agreement is ratified by the House of Representatives (DPR). “The fugitives’ names will be announced. It depends on when the ratification is,” said the Duty Executing Officer of the Deputy Attorney General for Special Criminal Acts, Hendarman Supandji, at his office yesterday (30/4).
According to Hendarman, now the AGO is still inventorying the names of the fugitives. The standard of fugitives to be pursued, said Hendarman, are those who have been suspects, defendants and convicts, who are thought to be in Singapore. The names that AGO has pocketed, he said, are the 15 that have previously been named, including Agus Anwar, Irawan Salim, Sjamsul Nursalim, Atang Latief, Sukanto Tanoto, Sudjiono Timan and Bambang Sutrisno.
The Indonesian and Singaporean governments signed an extradition agreement, last Friday. The important points in extradition, are it’s retroactive for 15 years; Indonesian corruptors who changed citizenship can be extradited and an extradition request is handled through the trial process in Singapore.
The Director of Immigration Investigation and Prosecution at the Justice and Human Rights Department, Syaiful Rachman, said that although the fugitives have changed citizenship, the fugitive status is still valid. “It is a matter of names,” said Syaiful when contacted yesterday.
However, Syaiful said that Immigration feels it is difficult tracing a fugitive who escaped abroad. This is because, said Syaiful, in addition to the immigration system that is not online, there is also a human resource limitation. “Moreover, investigation is the intelligence job,” he said.
