he immigration office on Tuesday deported Indian national Anil Bastawade, 48, a fugitive from money laundering allegations.

“He left the country aboard a Cathay Pacific flight for India this morning,” Maryoto Sumadi, a spokesperson for the Immigration Directorate General, said.

Maryoto confirmed that Bastawade had been listed as a fugitive for fraud.

He said that the immigration office had received a red notice on Bastawade’s status from Interpol’s office in Jakarta.

Bastawade had been detained by the immigration office for the last week.

Maryoto declined to reveal the duration and location of Bastawade’s stay in Indonesia.
