eputy Law and Human Rights Minister Denny Indrayana said that the government was continuing to hunt for Bank Pembangunan Indonesia (Bapindo) swindler Eddy Tansil.
Denny said that a team was currently working to track down the whereabouts of Eddy. 'We continue to hunt him down,' Denny said as quoted by tempo.co.
Denny, however, declined to give details on the progress the efforts.
The Law and Human Rights Ministry filed a request for extradition with the China Central Authority in 2011 following a report that Eddy was detected to have been in China.
Eddy escaped from Cipinang Penitentiary in East Jakarta on May 4, 1996 while he was serving a 20-year prison sentence. He was proven guilty of having embezzled US$565 million in state funds in a credit scam channeled by Bapindo to his Golden Key Group.
