The lawyer for former head of the Marunda Customs Supervision and\nService Office (KPPBC), Ahmad Dedi alias Dedi Congor, has denied that\nhis client was ever part of the State Intelligence Agency (BIN). The\ndenial was made to counter information provided by Blueray Cargo (Group)\nexecutive John Field, who is currently a defendant in a suspected\nbribery case related to importation at the Directorate General of\nCustoms and Excise. \u201cNo, never. Apart from Customs, he [Ahmad Dedi] has\nnever been anywhere else,\u201d lawyer Hamonangan Daulay said via written\nmessage on Friday (12\/6).<\/p>\n
Hamonangan questioned the basis for claiming his client worked at\nBIN, given that he is a civil servant (ASN) at the Directorate General\nof Customs and Excise. \u201cWhere is the basis for him being at BIN? He has\nbeen with Customs from the start,\u201d he said. He also denied that Dedi\nCongor was a special staff member to the Coordinating Minister for\nPolitical and Security Affairs. \u201cThat\u2019s not true, not true. Mr Dedi has\nnever moved from Customs,\u201d Hamonangan stated, adding that Dedi has not\nheld a position there for a long time.<\/p>\n
Previously, during a court hearing, defendant John Field admitted to\ndisbursing Rp91 billion to several officials at the Directorate General\nof Customs and Excise under the Ministry of Finance. Of that amount,\nRp30 billion was given to Dedi Congor. During the session, Field claimed\nDedi Congor worked for BIN. Field stated that he provided Rp5 billion\nmonthly to Dedi, whom he knew as a treasurer for PPIR (Purnawirawan\nPejuang Indonesia Raya) at BIN, not as a Customs official. He mentioned\nmeeting Dedi\u2019s staff member, Alex, after being introduced by someone\nnamed Tuti, referring to PPJK entrepreneur Sri Pangestuti.<\/p>\n
Dedi Congor was previously questioned as a witness by Corruption\nEradication Commission (KPK) investigators on Friday, 8 May 2026.
