JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – The government has still continues their effort of bring back the fugitive businessman Djoko Tjandra from the Papua New Guinea (PNG) to Indonesia.
The Director General of the Immigration Ronny F. Sompie, however, said that the extradition of Djoko Tjandra from the PNG to Indonesia will depend on the PNG’s government.
Djoko Tjandra has been long listed as a fugitive by the Attorney General Office (AGO). Djoko, a graft convict in the cessie Bank Bali case, was sentenced to 2 years in jail and paying Rp15 million in fine by the Supreme Court (MA). The MA also seized Djoko’s Rp546 billion money in Bank Bali. But the Director of PT Era Giat Prima (EGP) managed to escape to overseas since 2009.
