Indonesian Police Exchange Fugitives with Chinese Police

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian National Police (Polri), through NCB Interpol Indonesia, has successfully carried out an exchange of fugitives with the Chinese police.

Brigadier General Untung Widyatmoko, Secretary of NCB Interpol Indonesia at the Polri International Relations Division, said in Jakarta on Tuesday that NCB Interpol Indonesia repatriated three Chinese nationals who had fled to Indonesia, whilst the Chinese police handed over one Indonesian fugitive who had been hiding in that country.

He explained that the repatriation of the Chinese fugitives was split into two departures.

The first departure took the fugitives with the initials ZR and LZ to Baiyun International Airport in Guangzhou, arriving on Friday morning (10 July), whilst HZ was flown on the second departure and arrived in China on Saturday (11 July).

“All three Chinese fugitives were handed over to the Chinese police,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian fugitive with the initials KT, wanted in connection with fraud or embezzlement, arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang on Monday evening (13 July).

After receiving KT, NCB Interpol Indonesia handed the individual over to investigators from the Special Crimes Directorate of Polri’s Criminal Investigation Department (Bareskrim) for further examination.

ZR is Zheng Rongjing, a fugitive in an international online scam case originating from Beijing, who was arrested as he was about to enter Indonesia. His identity was revealed by NCB Interpol Indonesia at a press conference on 26 June 2026.

Zheng’s arrest began when NCB Interpol Beijing submitted a request to NCB Interpol Indonesia on 5 March 2026 to trace Zheng Rongjing’s whereabouts and apprehend him.

Zheng is strongly suspected of being a major player in online fraud crimes.
