Blueray Boss to Be Tried Soon in Import Bribery Case
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has finalised the case files for three suspects in the alleged bribery case concerning imports at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. All three are set to be tried soon.
“Investigators have transferred the suspects, case files, and evidence to the KPK Public Prosecutor (JPU) for the three suspects as the giving party in the Customs case,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in a written statement on Thursday (2/4).
The three suspects whose files have been completed are the owner of PT Blueray (BR), John Field (JF), Head of Blueray’s Documentation Team Andri (AND), and Blueray’s Operations Manager Dedy Kurniawan (DK). The prosecutors are now preparing the indictment for their case.
“Subsequently, the JPU will prepare the indictment files for a period of up to 14 days ahead,” Budi stated.
The KPK is developing the alleged import bribery case at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. Customs official Budiman Bayu Prasojo (BPP) was arrested.
Investigators immediately brought Bayu to the KPK’s Red and White Building after his arrest. Before this coercive action, the KPK had first designated Budiman as a suspect.
The KPK has named six suspects in this case. They are the Director of Enforcement and Investigation at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, Rizal (RZL); Head of the Subdirectorate of Enforcement and Investigation Intelligence at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, Sispiran Subiaksono (SIS); Head of the Intelligence Section at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, Orlando Hamonangan (ORL); owner of PT Blueray (BR), John Field; Head of Blueray’s Documentation Team Andri (AND); and Blueray’s Operations Manager Dedy Kurniawan (DK).
They are implicated in the alleged bribery case related to the importation of goods at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.
The officials deliberately prepared more than one storage location to avoid monitoring by law enforcement authorities.
The KPK seized Rp5 billion from a search in Ciputat related to the bribery and gratification case for importing counterfeit goods at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise under the Ministry of Finance.
