Jamal Yunos caught in Indonesia (Updated)

PETALING JAYA: More than a month after he escaped police custody, Umno's Red Shirt leader Datuk Seri Jamal Yunos who is sought for a string of offences, was nabbed yesterday in Indonesia.
Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said in a statement that Indonesian police notified Malaysia at about 6.15pm of Jamal's arrest.
Muhyiddin said arrangements to deport the fugitive to Malaysia is underway.
He thanked Indonesia and its police force for its assistance.
Jamal's lawyer Datuk Imran Tamrin, when contacted yesterday, told theSun that he was unaware of where his client was arrested in Indonesia and had only learnt of it from the social media.
He said he is waiting for more information on the status of Jamal's arrest and hopes the extradition of his client is sped up.
"I have no information except for what I had read in the news. The last I spoke to him was a month ago. I hope he can be extradited here quickly and face the charges for the offences he allegedly committed. As his lawyer, I will extend my assistance to him and my full cooperation to the authorities." he said.
Jamal who was arrested on May 22 for displaying a pistol in public complained of ill-health soon after being warded at the Ampang Puteri Specialist Centre where he was held under a remand order.
Three days later while still warded at the hospital, he was charged for three offences including public nuisance during a protest he held against the Better Beer Festival 2017 at the Selangor state secretariat in Shah Alam in October last year where he smashed several boxes of beer bottles with a sledgehammer. He was allowed bail but fled the hospital before signing court bail papers for fear of being re-arrested.
He went into hiding and posted several audio and video messages alleging he was being "victimised" by the new government but assured police he would surrender himself.
However, it was mere empty promises when he failed to show up after making several appointments to do so.
Police managed to trace his whereabouts to Indonesia which he is believed to have illegally entered as the Immigration Department found no records of him leaving the country.
Investigators then sought the help of their Indonesian counterpart in detaining the fugitive.
Jamal was investigated for a total of nine offences of which the charges for the remaining six cases are expected to be mounted on the fugitive in stages in the near future.
While in hiding last month, the escapee also nominated himself as a candidate for the Umno Youth wing chief post but failed in being elected after he saw dismal support from members.
