KPK loses track of Neneng: Chairman

JAKARTA. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) says it has lost track of Neneng Sri Wahyuni, a fugitive and wife of graft convict Muhammad Nazaruddin.

“Yes, we have lost track of her [Neneng],” KPK deputy chairman Busyro Muqoddas told journalists on the sidelines of the launch of the Korupedia website late on Tuesday.

He added, however, that Interpol was looking for her.

“Interpol has done a good job. As we all know, it just nabbed a fugitive of the BLBI [Bank Indonesia Liquidity Support program] case.”

Last week, Busyro hinted that Neneng could be in Malaysia.

Neneng, together with Nazaruddin, owns a company that has been implicated in a bribery case concerning a Manpower and Transmigration Ministry project.

Nazaruddin and Neneng both fled the country in May last year to avoid investigation.

Unlike Nazaruddin, who was arrested in Cartagena, Colombia, in August 2011, the last time Neneng was heard from was last month when she, through her lawyer, sent a letter to the KPK to negotiate her surrender.

The KPK has announced that it would not negotiate with Neneng. (Rabby Pramudatama/The Jakarta Post)
