Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia's National Police (Polri) have requested a red notice from Interpol headquarters in Lyon, France, for Mohammad Riza Chalid, a fugitive in a corruption case involving crude oil management.

Brigadier General Untung Widyatmoko, secretary of the Interpol National Central Bureau (NCB) in Indonesia, said on Tuesday that the Attorney General's Office (AGO) had completed all the requirements for the request last week.

"We immediately submitted the IRN request for the individual in question (Riza Chalid)," he said, adding that Interpol will issue the red notice after conducting its assessment.

The AGO has named Chalid, the owner of PT Orbit Terminal Merak, as a suspect in a corruption case related to the management of crude oil and refinery products at state-owned energy company Pertamina and Cooperation Contract Contractors (KKKS) between 2018 and 2023. He is also facing charges in a related money laundering case.

Chalid has been on the AGO's most-wanted list since August 19. Minister of Immigration and Corrections Agus Andrianto announced that his passport has been revoked.

Chalid was detected in Malaysia after leaving Indonesia in February, according to Andrianto.
