"We will chase all that have been able to flee abroad," he said here on Saturday.
He said the government would hunt for not only Neneng Sri Wahyuni but also others that have fled and "we have instructed the Directorate General to set up a team to hunt for Neneng Sri Wahyuni and other wanted corrupters."
He said to find graft suspect Neneng, who is also the wife of graft suspect Nazaruddin, he would cooperate with the police and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as well as the foreign ministry.
"The four institutions are currently still studying the possibility of working together in a joint team like they did when they caught Nazaruddin," he said.
He said the hunt for Neneng Sri Wahyuni would be done like when arresting Nazaruddin abroad recently.
"We believe Neneng Sri Wahyuni and her children are now still in Malaysia," he said.
He said the immigration office had not detected Neneng moving to other countries after July 25, 2011. "It is very likely that Neneng Sri Wahyuni is now still in Malaysia," he said.
He said he had held her passport after she was officially declared an Interpol wanted person. Neneng has been banned from traveling abroad since May 31, 2011 and named suspect.
"She has been given a travel ban and this includes the revocation of her passport," the minister said.
The immigration office, he said, has already coordinated with its representative offices abroad to anticipate the possibility of Neneng using the passport to move to other countries.
Unlike Nazaruddin who has used other person`s passport to travel abroad Neneng is still using her own passport.
"Foreign representative offices will be informed about it," he said.
Neneng has been named suspect in a corruption case linked to procurement at a solar power project in the ministry of manpower and transmigration in 2008.(*)
