Police to Work with ASEAN Countries to Catch Graft Fugitives

Jakarta. The National Police recently unveiled its plan for a “police-to-police” scheme with several ASEAN countries to help hunt down Indonesia’s graft fugitives hiding overseas, including bribery suspect Harun Masiku who is still at large.

“We are working on a partnership with a number of countries in ASEAN to make the search easier with a police-to-police scheme,” National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo told a press briefing on Tuesday.

According to Listyo, the National Police are approaching several ASEAN countries for collaboration under the scheme but he did not mention which countries Indonesia would be teaming up with to track down its fugitives.

“Hopefully, this can assist the arrest of the fugitives that are outside Indonesia, particularly in countries with whom we can establish a police-to-police cooperation,” Listyo said.
