Dedi Congor Named Graft Suspect by Police Anti-Corruption Unit
The National Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortas Tipikor) has named Ahmad Dedi, also known as Dedi Congor, a suspect in a gratification case. The investigation was initiated by police investigators in 2023.
“It is true (he is a suspect in an alleged gratification case),” said Kortas Tipikor Polri Head of Operations, Commissioner Ahmad Yusuf Afandi, when contacted by reporters on Tuesday (11/8/2026).
Yusuf stated that the investigation relates to alleged gratification received while Dedi served as Head of Enforcement at the Directorate of Enforcement and Investigation (P2) of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. The case under investigation by Kortas Tipikor Polri covers the period from 2008 to 2016.
“Currently, investigators are fulfilling the P19 requirements from the public prosecutor,” Yusuf explained.
Dedi Congor’s name has recently resurfaced due to his alleged involvement in a separate corruption case concerning imports at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, which is being handled by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). He is alleged to have received Rp 30 billion from John Field, the head of import company PT Blueray Cargo.
This was revealed during the sentencing hearing for three private sector defendants in the import corruption case at the Jakarta Corruption Court on Friday (10/7/2026). The three defendants are John Field, the head of Blueray Cargo; Deddy Kurniawan Sukolo, the company’s operational manager; and Andri, the head of the company’s document team.
During the reading of the verdict, panel judge Nofalinda Arianti stated that Dedi received the money in stages. The judge noted that the handover of Rp 5 billion by John Field to Dedi took place between July and December 2025.
The judge said the payments stopped because John was no longer able to provide them. The payments were intended to resolve issues with Blueray Cargo’s goods that were flagged for red channel customs inspection.
The judge stated that the payments to customs officials and Dedi were meant to ensure that Blueray Cargo’s goods could quickly pass through inspection controls.
“Considering the entire description above, in resolving the issue of the large number of Blueray customer goods entering the red channel at Tanjung Priok Port, Blueray disbursed money not only to customs officials and employees but also to individuals from the State Intelligence Agency,” the judge said.
The judge noted that the payments to Dedi had no effect on Blueray Cargo’s situation. The number of the company’s goods entering the red channel actually increased.
“Defendant I gave money to Ahmad Dedi from July 2025 to December 2025, totalling Rp 30 billion, but the payment to Mr Ahmad Dedi had absolutely no effect on the problem of increasing red channel entries for PPJK Blueray’s imported goods; in fact, the red channel entries increased further,” the judge stated.
