The Jambi high prosecution office had declared Dewi a fugitive before she was nabbed in Cirebon, West Java, and flown to Jambi via Jakarta this morning, Andi Azhari, the spokesman of the high prosecution office said.
Dewi, who was charged with embezzling Rp800 million in state fund had been on the run from the law for several years.
She had been seen in Padang, West Sumatra, where her husband Isman Ismail was arrested late last year on the same charge.
The husband and wife borrowed money from Bank Tanggo Rajo, which is owned by the Tanjung Jabung Barat district administration without collateral in 2006/2007.
Three officials of the bank, Justus Pasaribu, Heru Rinaldi, and Rahmidawati, were also arrested in the case.
Justus Pasaribu was the president of the bank, Heru was a credit division chief and Rahmidawati was an accounting officer.
