Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo arrives at the EU-ASEAN summit at the European Council headquarters in Brussels on December 14, 2022. AFPPIX: Indonesia's parliament on Thursday approved an extradition treaty with Singapore that will help Jakarta track down corruption suspects who have taken sanctuary or stored money offshore in the city-state.
Indonesian officials have for years complained about what they say is the freedom enjoyed by fugitives in the neighbouring country where they have allegedly pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into banks and property. “The extradition treaty with Singapore will make it easier for law enforcers to resolve a crime when the criminals are in Singapore,“ Justice and Human Rights Minister Yasonna Laoly told parliament before the vote.
The minister said the treaty was an effort to “provide justice and protection” for Indonesian citizens and showed Jakarta’s “active role in maintaining the global order”.
