joko Soegiarto Tjandra, a fugitive in the high-profile Bank Bali corruption case, returned to the country and filed a case review against his conviction with the South Jakarta District Court in early June, the Attorney General's Office (AGO) has said.
The graft convict was scheduled to attend his own case review submission hearing at the court on Monday, Attorney General ST Burhanuddin said. Djoko did not appear.
Burhanuddin told members of House of Representatives Commission III overseeing legal affairs in a hearing on Monday that the AGO was tracking down the fugitive.
Burhanuddin said the office had not received any information about Djoko's arrival in the country before learning that he had come to the South Jakarta District Court on June 8 to file his case review.
He said Djoko had reportedly been in Indonesia for the past three months.
"Honestly, this is a result our intelligence weaknesses. That's the fact. I asked the court, and they said [the case review] was filed through an integrated service that had no identity control," he said in the hearing.
He said the AGO would discuss the issue with the Immigration Office to establish the details of the graft convict's arrival in Indonesia. Burhanuddin believed that Djoko should not have been able to enter the country freely because of his status as a fugitive.
