The defendant in the bribery case involving the Directorate General\nof Customs and Excise of the Ministry of Finance, Sisprian Subiaksono,\nbroke down in tears during his trial. He admitted to feeling profound\nregret for accepting bribe money.<\/p>\n
Sisprian wept during the hearing held at the Jakarta Central\nCorruption Court on Friday (2\/10\/2026). The session began with\nSisprian\u2019s legal counsel asking about the impact of the case on his\nfamily.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to ask, Your Honour, regarding his family. As the head\nof the household, how has this impacted them?\u201d Sisprian\u2019s lawyer\nasked.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith your permission, Your Honour, I deeply regret this incident. If\nI could return to that time, when I first sat in Intelligence, I would\nhave abolished the operational funds that had no proper regulations.\nFurthermore, when Orlando reported the receipt of funds from Blueray, I\nordered them to be returned,\u201d Sispymian replied.<\/p>\n
Sisprian went on to explain the consequences of the case, stating\nthat both his wife and child have been severely affected.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe heaviest impact of this event is on my family, especially my\nwife, Your Honour. My wife has a career in a foreign company, not just\nin Indonesia, but internationally, and they adhere to strict\nanti-corruption creeds. There was immense anger from my wife because\nbeing summoned by the KPK (Corruption Eradication Commission) inevitably\naffected her,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cUltimately, my wife did not know how we would afford food, and she\nhad to sell her jewellery one by one. My child has also had to work as\nan online driver and a restaurant waiter; while this has made them more\nresilient, it is a source of great sadness as they should have been\nsupported by their parents,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
Sisprian then reflected on his decades-long career at Customs,\nadmitting that his professional reputation is now destroyed.<\/p>\n
\u201cFurthermore, my 33 years of service, during which I sought to uphold\nthe name of Customs, are ruined. I destroyed it myself. I destroyed it\nmyself,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Sisprian wept while asking for forgiveness from the Customs\ninstitution and expressed regret over accepting the bribes. He stated\nthat he is prepared to be found guilty by the judge.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut this is what has happened. I apologise, I apologise to my\ninstitution. I surrender myself to the Judge to decide this case. I am\nready to be found guilty. If I could go back in time, I would even\nrefuse assignments at the head office, and I would refuse to accept that\nmoney,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
For context, three officials from the Ministry of Finance\u2019s Customs\nand Excise department are accused of receiving bribes and gratifications\ntotalling Rp 78.8 billion. Prosecutors stated that the bribes and\ngratifications were received in both Rupiah and foreign currencies.<\/p>\n
