Blueray Cargo Owner Found Guilty of Bribing Customs Officials with Rp91.77 Billion

The panel of judges at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court has confirmed that Blueray Cargo owner John Field was proven to have paid bribes totalling Rp91.77 billion to the director general of Customs and Excise. Presiding Judge Brelly Yuniar Dien stated that the bribery was carried out by John together with Blueray Cargo’s Port Custom Clearance Operations Manager, Dedy Kurniawan, and the company’s Import Documentation Team Leader, Andri. “The transfer of money from Blueray Cargo to officials and employees of Customs and Excise, documented as total bonus costs from July 2025 to January 2026, amounted to Rp91.77 billion,” said Presiding Judge Brelly while reading the verdict at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court on Friday (10/7/2026). The panel of judges explained that the large flow of funds was intended to ensure that Customs officials would accelerate the process of releasing Blueray Cargo Group’s imported goods from customs supervision. Through these bribes, the company sought to bypass bureaucratic procedures at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. The breakdown of the Rp91.77 billion bribe included various forms, such as entertainment facilities recorded at Rp1.45 billion. Luxury goods handed over included a Tag Heuer watch worth Rp65 million given to an official named Orlando, and a Mazda CX-5 car valued at Rp330 million. The judge revealed that several Customs and Excise officials identified as receiving the bribes were Rizal, Orlando Hamonangan, and Sisprian Subiaksono. The three are currently undergoing trial in separate case files. For their actions in this corruption case within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise for the 2025-2026 period, the panel of judges handed down sentences. The three defendants were found legally and convincingly guilty of violating Article 605 paragraph (1) letter a in conjunction with Article 20 letter c in conjunction with Article 126 paragraph (1) of the National Criminal Code in conjunction with Article VII number 48 of Law Number 1 of 2026 concerning Criminal Adjustments.
