He said corrupters always seek countries where they can get a stay permit easily.
“They are looking for a safe state to stay,” he said.
He admitted he had received information that one of the 18 corrupters now being sought after wishing to stay in the US and “therefore we will coordinate with the foreign ministry to check the truth of the information.”
He said the team would also submit the copy of the court`s ruling for the corrupter who wished to flee to the US.
“The copy will be proof that he (the corrupter) is involved in a legal case and therefore his stay permit must be revoked and made invalid,” he said.
