"One thing is certain, namely that the police and immigration team is already working," law and human rights minister Patrialis Akbar said here on Tuesday.
The team will soon leave for a country to seek Nazaruddin, he said.
"The first step is establishing communication with the authorities of that given country, and we will obviously speak to them politely explaining to them that the wanted man is a fugitive," he said.
He also said that Nazaruddin`s travel documents including his passport, had been revoked by the Indonesian government, he said.
"We wish for cooperation with the relevant government in repatriating the wanted man," Parialis said.
But Patrialis did not mention the name of the country to be visited by the joint team in looking for Nazaruddin.
"Now there are five persons banned by the immigration from going abroad under an instruction of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK)," he said.
Nazaruddin, suspect in the case of bribery linked to the construction of the althlete`s dormitory in Jakabaring, Palembang, was in Singapore a day before the KPK asked the Law and Human Rights Ministry to issue a travel ban for him on May 24.
The Indonesian police headquarters has issued a red notice to repatriate the suspect of bribing the Secretary of the Youth and Sports Ministry Nazaruddin with cooperation and coordination of Interpol. (*)
