The file has been submitted to the court. But Richard was never there. Due to his continued absence, the Public Prosecution Service of South Kalimantan has added his name to the Wanted List.
The Attorney General has instructed his staff to monitor and immediately arrest fugitives who are still at large, for the sake of legal certainty. He also called on all DPOs of the Indonesian Public Prosecution Service to surrender immediately.
“There is no safe hiding place for fugitives. Turn yourself in immediately and take responsibility for your actions,” the attorney general emphasized.
Richard’s arrest is proof of the seriousness of the prosecution of cross-border fugitives by the Public Prosecution Service. Although he fled to Singapore, he was still tracked and eventually ended up at Soetta Airport. ***adh
