KUALA LUMPUR: A team from the Selangor Criminal Investigation Department (CID) will be sent to Indonesia to prepare for the extradition of Umno Sungai Besar division chief Datuk Seri Jamal Yunos.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun said the team would leave this evening and would hopefully be able to bring Jamal back to Malaysia soon.
“We have contacted Indonesian authorities and they are willing to fully cooperate with us. There will be two or three officers who will go to Indonesia and we believe we will be able to bring him back within a day or two,” he told reporters at the Kuala Lumpur police Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration at the Cheras police headquarters.
Jamal was arrested by Indonesian police in Jakarta on Monday while having his hair cut.
He was reported to have skipped the bail process, “disappearing” from the Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital on May 25.
He had earlier that day been charged with public nuisance for smashing crates of beer bottles outside the Selangor State Secretariat building in Shah Alam in October last year, and was allowed bail, but left the hospital before the process could be completed.
Rumours then spread that Jamal had left the country, but he later released a video in which he was seen standing in an oil palm plantation and claimed he was still in Malaysia.
Jamal is also being investigated for several other incidents.
Asked about these investigations, Mohamad Fuzi said any charge or prosecution would be done once Jamal was back in Malaysia.
