Lessons from Adelin Lis and Hendra Subrata Cases

The repatriation of Adelin Lis and Hendra Subrata as well as several other fugitives from a number of countries was only possible thanks to close international cooperation.

In the past two weeks, there has been a lot of news about the repatriation of Adelin Lis alias Hendro Leonardi and Hendra Subrata alias Endang Rifai alias Ayin from Singapore over immigration violations.

Both were on the Indonesian government’s most-wanted list after being on the run for several years, avoiding prison terms. Adelin Lis was found guilty of illegal logging in 2008, sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined Rp 119 billion.
