The\nsearch was conducted alongside one at the Kudus Customs and Excise\nSupervision and Service Office (KPPBC TMC).<\/p>\n<p>The searches followed the KPK\u2019s issuance of a new investigation\nwarrant in an expanded case involving the Directorate General of Customs\nand Excise at the Finance Ministry. The new investigation focuses on\nalleged irregularities in the processing of cigarette excise stamps.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation has uncovered suspicions that the excise-stamp\nprocess caused state losses of up to trillions of rupiah. During the\nsearches, the KPK seized documents and electronic evidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis relates to alleged corruption involving state revenue. In other\nwords, it concerns losses to state finances under Articles 2 and 3, or\nArticles 603 and 604 of the Criminal Code, in relation to excise,\u201d KPK\nspokesman Budi Prasetyo said at the commission\u2019s headquarters in\nKuningan, South Jakarta, on Thursday (29 October).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe initial estimate of state losses is in the trillions,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday (29 October), the KPK also searched other locations in\nKudus, including six companies suspected of being affiliated with PT\nDjarum.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators seized documents and electronic devices from the six\ncompanies and are analysing the material.<\/p>",
