Muhammad Nazaruddin, the former Democratic Party treasurer who
is implicated in a bribery case, fled to Singapore on Monday, Law
and Human Rights Minister Patrialis Akbar said.
“We have banned [Nazaruddin from fleeing overseas] from May 24, but
on May 23 he went to Singapore on Garuda [airlines],” Patrialis
said, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
The Immigration office received a request from the Corruption
Eradication Commission (KPK) to ban Nazaruddin from traveling
overseas on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
Patrialis said that he did not know if Nazaruddin had
returned.
Nazaruddin is implicated in an alleged bribery case centering on
the construction of a SEA Games athletes' dormitory in Palembang,
South Sumatera.
The KPK has named Sports and Youth Affairs Ministry secretary Wafid
Muharram, businesswoman Rosalinda Manurung and a top executive of
PT Duta Graha Indah Muhammad El Idris as suspects.

The Democratic Party plans to send some of its members to
Singapore over the next couple of days to meet its dismissed
treasurer, Muhammad Nazaruddin, a top politician said on
Tuesday.
Jafar Hafsah, the party's House of Representatives faction leader,
said that the party was currently selecting two or three members
that would make up the “communications team” to fly to Singapore to
deal with Nazaruddin.
“They will meet either today or tomorrow in Singapore,” Jafar
said.
“The party's head of economic department Sutan Bhatoegana is one of
them.”
Jafar said that the communication teams would be sent to conduct
preliminary talks with Nazaruddin.
He said that the Corruption Eradication Commission were welcomed to
step in and extradite Nazaruddin if it decided to officially summon
him.
Nazaruddin flew to Singapore in the middle of a scandal linking him
to a massive graft case tied to the SEA Games.
He left for the city-state on May 23, just one day before a travel
ban on him was requested by the KPK and subsequently
issued
