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

The panel of judges at the Corruption Court (Tipikor) of the Central Jakarta District Court has affirmed that John Field, owner of Blueray Cargo, was proven to have given 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 the Custom Clearance Operations Manager of Blueray Cargo Port, Dedy Kurniawan, and the Head of the Import Documentation Team at Blueray Cargo, Andri.

“The delivery of money from Blueray Cargo to officials and employees of Customs and Excise, listed in documents as total bonus costs for July 2025 to January 2026, amounted to Rp91.77 billion,” said Presiding Judge Brelly when reading the verdict at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court on Friday (10/7/2026).

The panel of judges explained that this substantial flow of funds was intended to encourage Customs and Excise officials to expedite the release of imported goods belonging to the Blueray Cargo Group from customs supervision. Through these bribes, the company sought to cut through bureaucratic procedures at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.

The bribes totalling Rp91.77 billion consisted of various forms, including:

The entertainment facilities provided were recorded at Rp1.45 billion. Meanwhile, the luxury goods handed over included a Tag Heuer watch valued at Rp65 million given to an official named Orlando, and a Mazda CX-5 car worth Rp330 million.

The judges revealed that several Customs and Excise officials identified as having received the bribes were Rizal, Orlando Hamonangan and Sisprian Subiaksono. All three are currently standing trial in separate case files.

For their actions in this corruption case within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise in 2025-2026, the panel of judges handed down the following sentences:

The three defendants were legally and convincingly proven to have violated 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 Number VII point 48 of Law Number 1 of 2026 on Penal Adjustments.
