Denpasar, Bali (ANTARA) - The Ngurah Rai Immigration Office in Bali has deported Romanian Interpol fugitive, Zuleam Costinel Cosmin, who had been hiding in Bali and was married to an Indonesian citizen.
"We are increasing synergy with the authorities to enforce the law and maintain national security and order," said Winarko, the head of the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office, in Denpasar, Bali, on Thursday.
Cosmin, who is on Interpol’s Red Notice list, departed Bali on a Middle Eastern airline via Doha for Bucharest, Romania.
The 33-year-old was arrested on January 15 by a joint task force from the Indonesian National Police and the Bali Regional Police, due to a brutal 2023 murder and robbery of a businessman in Sibiu, Romania.
Investigation into his entry revealed that Cosmin first arrived in Indonesia on November 14, 2023, via Soekarno-Hatta Airport from Chengdu, China.
His presence was later detected in Jakarta and Bali in November 2025, but a fresh tip from Romanian authorities in Bucharest ultimately led police to his location in Bali for the final arrest.
While in Bali, Cosmin lived off the income of his Indonesian wife, whom he married in an unregistered ceremony. She was reportedly unaware that her husband was an international fugitive.
