Customs Official Arrested as New Suspect in Bribery Case Remains Silent During KPK Detention
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has detained Budiman Bayu Prasojo (BBP), Head of the Customs Intelligence Section at the Directorate General of Customs (DJBC), as a new suspect in an alleged bribery case involving the importation of goods at the Directorate General of Customs. Prasojo remained silent when brought to the KPK detention vehicle.
At the KPK headquarters in Kuningan, South Jakarta on Friday (27 February 2026), Prasojo was escorted to the detention vehicle at 16:12 WIB. He appeared to cover his mouth with his hand whilst walking towards the vehicle. Wearing an orange vest with his hands handcuffed, Prasojo gave no response when questioned about the case before entering the detention vehicle.
Prasojo is suspected of ordering other officials to deposit corruption proceeds at a safe house. The funds are believed to have originated from bribes related to the arrangement of import routes for goods.
“The money is suspected to have derived from alleged corruption involving the arrangement of import routes for goods (customs matters) and duty administration,” said Asep Guntur Rahayu, KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution, at a press conference at KPK headquarters in Kuningan, South Jakarta on Friday (27 February).
The money was allegedly stored by Salisa Asmoaji (SA), an official at the Directorate of Enforcement and Investigation (P2) of Customs, at a safe house in Central Jakarta under the orders of Prasojo and Sisprian Subiaksono, Head of the Intelligence Subdirectorate of the Enforcement and Investigation Directorate of the Directorate General of Customs, who is also a suspect in the case.
Asep explained that the funds were used for operational costs. In February 2026, Prasojo ordered Asmoaji to transfer the money from the safe house to an apartment in Ciputat, South Tangerang.
“In early February 2026, Prasojo ordered Asmoaji to clear the safe house located in Central Jakarta. Asmoaji then transferred the funds to another safe house located in an apartment in the Ciputat area, South Tangerang,” he stated.
Investigators conducted searches at both safe house locations, discovering 5.19 billion rupiah stored in five suitcases. Prasojo is charged with violating Article 12B of the Corruption Eradication Law in conjunction with Article 20 letter c of Law No 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. Prasojo was arrested at Customs headquarters on Thursday (26 June) at approximately 16:00 WIB.
The bribery case in Customs now involves seven suspects in total:
Rizal (RZL), Director of Enforcement and Investigation at the Directorate General of Customs (P2 DJBC) from 2024 to January 2026;
Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS), Head of the Intelligence Subdirectorate of Enforcement and Investigation at the Directorate General of Customs;

Andri (AND), Head of the Import Documentation Team at PT Blueray;
Dedy Kurniawan (DK), Operations Manager at PT Blueray;
