The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has examined Budiman Bayu\nPrasojo (BBP), Head of Customs Intelligence Section P2 at the\nDirectorate General of Customs (DJBC), who is a new suspect in an import\nbribery case at the Directorate General of Customs. Budiman is now being\nheld by the KPK.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are detaining Mr BBP for the first 20 days from 27 February until\n18 March 2026. Detention is being carried out at the Detention House\n(Rutan) Branch of the KPK\u2019s Red and White Building,\u201d said KPK Deputy for\nProsecution and Execution Asep Guntur Rahayu at a press conference at\nKPK headquarters, Kuningan, South Jakarta, Friday (27\/2\/2026).<\/p>\n
Budiman\u2019s role relates to Rp 5 billion in cash discovered by the KPK\nin a safe house in Ciputat, South Tangerang. The KPK suspects Budiman\nordered Salida Asmoaji (SA), an employee at the Directorate of\nProsecution and Investigation (P2) of Customs, to manage money from\nbusinessmen whose products are subject to duties and importers.<\/p>\n
The money was initially stored in a safe house located in Central\nJakarta on Budiman\u2019s instructions. The money was used as operational\nfunds.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe money is suspected to have originated from alleged corruption\noffences related to the regulation of import routes for goods or customs\nand the administration of duties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In February 2026, Budiman allegedly ordered Salida to clean the safe\nhouse in Central Jakarta. In response to this order, Salida moved the\nmoney to another safe house in the Ciputat area.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn early February 2026, BBP ordered SA to \u2018clean\u2019 the safe house\nlocated in Central Jakarta. SA then moved the funds to another safe\nhouse located in one of the apartments in the Ciputat area, South\nTangerang,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvestigators then conducted raids at the two safe house locations.\nWhere investigators found cash in various foreign currencies and rupiah\ntotalling more than Rp 5.19 billion, stored in 5 suitcases,\u201d added\nAsep.<\/p>\n
For his actions, Budiman is accused of violating Article 12B of the\nCorruption Eradication Law juncto Article 20 letter c of Law No 1 of\n2023 concerning the Criminal Code. Budiman was arrested around 16.00\nWIB, Thursday (26\/2).<\/p>\n
Previously, the KPK revealed that counterfeit and illegal goods could\nenter Indonesia because of a bribery case involving officials at the\nDirectorate General of Customs (DJBC) of the Finance Ministry. The KPK\nstated that the bribes meant that inspections were not carried out in\naccordance with regulations.<\/p>\n
Asep Guntur revealed an agreement between the Head of Customs\nIntelligence Section Orlando Hamonangan and the Head of the Customs\nIntelligence Subdirectorate Sisprian Subiaksono with the owner of PT\nBlueray John Field, Head of PT Blueray\u2019s Import Documentation Team\nAndri, and PT Blueray\u2019s Operations Manager Dedy Kurniawan in October\n2025. They allegedly agreed to arrange import routes for goods into\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n
The KPK stated that the Regulation of the Minister of Finance\nregulates two types of routes in import goods inspection services. There\nis a green lane which is a goods release route without physical\ninspection and a red lane which is a goods release route with physical\ninspection.<\/p>\n
\u201cSubsequently, FLR (Customs official Filar) received an order from\nORL (Orlando) to adjust the red lane parameters and follow up by\nestablishing a rule set at 70%,\u201d said Asep.<\/p>\n
