Problem is that Interpol only checks people entering a country. If she doesn't travel, they will never find her and if she is using a different name, they also will never find her. Money can buy you a passport under any country and name that you desire

The National Police are optimistic that Interpol will help them to locate fugitive graft suspect Nunun Nurbaeti, suspected of being in Cambodia.
 
Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Boy Rafli Amar said on Thursday that all 188 member countries of Interpol would soon be notified of Nunun’s status as a fugitive."The KPK sent the red notice to the National Police yesterday, which will be forwarded within a day or two to the Interpol headquarters in Lyon, France," Boy said.

With the Interpol member countries alerted, Boy said, Nunun should soon be located.

"If any of the Interpol members receive information about Nunun, then we, as the country who requested the search, will be actively updated," he said.

Insp. Gen. Anton Bahrul Alam, another spokesman for the National Police, said the report was to be forwarded at the KPK's request.

Senior immigration official Muhammad Indra said that since Nunun's passport has been revoked, it should become easier to track her down, since she cannot flee from country to country without her passport.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should notify other countries, especially Asian countries, that this person's passport is no longer valid and that she should be banned from entering any country," he said.

However, Justice and Human Rights Minister Patrialis Akbar on Monday said that Thai authorities informed him that Nunun had left the country for Phnom Penh, Cambodia, in March.

Separately, Nunun’s husband, lawmaker and former National Police deputy chief Adang Daradjatun, maintained that his wife was still in Singapore. The KPK has urged Nunun's family to persuade her to return to Indonesia.

Adang had earlier told the KPK that his wife was undergoing medical treatment in Singapore for an illness that caused memory loss. However, it is alleged that she had been making frequent trips between there and Thailand to extend her stay in Singapore.

He also said the intense media coverage of the case had “terrified” her.
 
“This is unfair. When she was getting treatment from a doctor in Singapore, a reporter went there to check and then she was denied the medical treatment because [the doctor] thought she was a fugitive,” he said. “At the time, she was still a witness.”
 
Adang refused to reveal his wife’s whereabouts, dismissing new reports she entered Cambodia on March 21. “I can’t confirm that she is in Cambodia,” he said. “It’s up to her where she wants to go to get medical treatment.”
Nunun has been named a suspect in a bribery case involving several lawmakers in relation to the election of Miranda Goeltom as senior deputy governor of Bank Indonesia, the central bank, in 2004. She had allegedly distributed bribes in the form of travelers' checks among lawmakers shortly after the House of Representatives endorsed Miranda's candidacy for the BI post.
