Jakarta (ANTARA) - The owner of Blueray Cargo, John Field, has been\ncharged with providing bribes and gratifications totalling Rp63.15\nbillion to several officials in the Directorate General of Customs and\nExcise under the Ministry of Finance, in an alleged corruption case\nwithin the customs authority from 2025 to 2026.<\/p>\n
Prosecutor Surya Dharma Tanjung from the Corruption Eradication\nCommission (KPK) explained that the bribes and gratifications were given\njointly with Dedy Kurniawan, the Operational Manager for Customs\nClearance at Blueray Cargo Port, and Andri, the Head of the Import\nDocumentation Team at Blueray Cargo.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe bribes were given with the aim of having the Customs and Excise\nService facilitate the faster release of Blueray Cargo Group\u2019s imported\ngoods from the supervision process in the Customs section of the\nDirectorate General of Customs and Excise,\u201d the prosecutor stated during\nthe reading of the indictment at the Corruption Court in the Central\nJakarta District Court on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor detailed that the bribes and gratifications included\nbribes in Singapore dollars amounting to Rp61.3 billion, along with\ngratifications in the form of entertainment facilities and luxury goods\nworth Rp1.85 billion.<\/p>\n
The customs officials allegedly receiving the bribes or\ngratifications are Rizal, Orlando Hamonangan, Fillar Marindra, Sisprian\nSubiaksono, and Enov Puji.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor stated that the Singapore dollar bribes were given\nseven times to these five customs officials, while the gratifications\nconsisted of entertainment facilities worth Rp1.45 billion, a Tag Heuer\nwatch worth Rp65 million to Orlando, and a Mazda CX-5 vehicle worth\nRp330 million to Enov.<\/p>\n
For their actions, the defendants face penalties under Article 605\nparagraph (1) letter a or Article 606 paragraph (1) in conjunction with\nArticle 20 letter c jo. Article 126 paragraph (1) of the National\nCriminal Code in conjunction with Article VII numbers 48-49 of Law\nNumber 1 of 2026 on Penal Adjustment.<\/p>\n
Subsequently, there was a meeting between Dedy and Andri with Orlando\nand Fillar, respectively as implementers in the Subdirectorate of\nIntelligence of the Directorate of Enforcement and Investigation of the\nDirectorate General of Customs and Excise of the Ministry of Finance, in\nAugust 2025.<\/p>\n
In that meeting, John conveyed to Orlando regarding the increasing\ncondition of Blueray Cargo\u2019s imported goods shipments entering the \u201cred\nlane\u201d and being subject to dwelling time, or the waiting period for\ncontainers at the port.<\/p>\n
In response, Orlando said that John should subsequently coordinate\nwith Fillar. To accommodate John\u2019s request, Orlando instructed Fillar to\nprepare a rule set for targeting or targeting rules set by regulations,\nwith parameters based on the Directorate General of Customs and Excise\ndatabase.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe targets were made by adjusting the red lane percentage for\nhigh-risk importers, one of which is Blueray Cargo,\u201d the prosecutor\nrevealed.<\/p>\n
Fillar then sent the Goods Import Notification (PIB) document to\nDedy, which contained the Directorate General of Customs and Excise\ndatabase documents, which are confidential data, mentioning the names of\nimporters entering the \u201cred lane\u201d or \u201cgreen lane\u201d based on the targeting\nrule set from the office note of the Directorate of Enforcement and\nInvestigation of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.<\/p>\n
Dedy then processed and modified the document as a reference for\ninitial information in selecting low-risk sea ports, which was\nsubsequently used as the basis for Blueray Cargo in determining the\nchoice of access for shipments through the \u201cgreen lane\u201d.<\/p>\n
Thus, Blueray Cargo\u2019s imported goods could be released more quickly\nfrom the supervision process in the customs section of the Directorate\nGeneral of Customs and Excise.<\/p>\n
Regarding the release process of Blueray Cargo\u2019s goods, it was\nmentioned that they were always facilitated by Rizal, Sisprian as Head\nof the Subdirectorate of Intelligence of the Directorate of Enforcement\nand Investigation of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, and\nOrlando, without conducting detailed supervision and examination\nprocesses.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the intention of facilitating the faster release of Blueray\nCargo\u2019s imported goods from the supervision process in the customs\nsection of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, the three\ndefendants have given amounts of money to officials in the Directorate\nGeneral of Customs and Excise,\u201d the prosecutor added.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/owner-of-blueray-cargo-charged-with-rp63-15-billion-bribery-of-customs-officials-1778191050", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
