Man wanted in Indonesia graft case held; suspect says he has diplomatic passport

Through his lawyers, Paulus Tannos said during his court mention on Jan 23 that he has a diplomatic passport from West African country Guinea-Bissau.

But the State Counsel rebutted that this did not grant Paulus diplomatic immunity as he is not accredited with Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).

CPIB said on Jan 24 in response to The Straits Times' queries that it arrested Paulus on Jan 17 after the Indonesian government made a provisional arrest request against him.

The bureau said the matter is pending the submission of a formal extradition request by the Indonesian authorities.

"Singapore is committed to continue working closely with Indonesia on this case, in accordance with due process and the rule of law," it added.

CPIB said it was unable to comment further as the matter is currently before the Singapore courts.
