Interpol Issues Red Notice for Indonesia 'Gasoline Godfather'
Interpol seeks arrest of Mohammad Riza Chalid for alleged $17 million corruption involving state oil company Pertamina from 2018 to 2023, with his location under surveillance.
- On Feb 1, police said Interpol issued a red notice on Jan 23 seeking the arrest of Mohammad Riza Chalid over a US$17 million corruption scandal, distributing it to 196 member countries.
- Authorities say the allegations stem from Pertamina deals between 2018 and 2023, with Mohammad Riza Chalid, his son Muhammad Kerry Adrianto Riza, and officials named in July.
- Authorities report surveillance teams are operating in the country where Mr Untung Widyatmoko said Riza's location has been mapped and his Indonesian passport was revoked last month.
- A red notice formally means a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, based on an arrest warrant from judicial authorities in the requesting country.
- As a precedent, Indonesia's AGO has previously prosecuted a former minister to a 15-year sentence for corruption costing over US$530 million, amid ongoing graft struggles.
