Extradition hearings for Paulus Tannos scheduled in June

A businessman named Paulus Tannos is facing extradition from Singapore to Indonesia due to his alleged involvement in a graft case. This case is related to a government project for electronic ID cards, which resulted in significant losses for the state. Tannos, a permanent resident of Singapore, was arrested by Singapore's Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau on January 17. He has been remanded without bail since then while Indonesia's formal request for extradition was received on February 24. During a video court appearance on March 25, Tannos maintained that he plans to challenge his extradition. His lawyer, Hassan Esa Almenoar, stated that bail application will be heard on April 22. If bail is denied, they may appeal to the High Court. Tentative hearing dates for the extradition case have been set for June 4 and June 23. The hearing is expected to take about two days. Tannos currently disputes the extradition and confirmed in court that he does not agree to be sent back to Indonesia. He is scheduled to return to court on March 28.
