Implicated in Corruption Case, Here is the Wealth of Customs Director General Djaka Budi Utama

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Director General of Customs and Excise Djaka Budi Utama is embroiled in a bribery case concerning the importation of goods involving Blueray Cargo executives. The name of the senior Customs official appears in the indictment by Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) prosecutors at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court.

According to the KPK, the bribery case for importing goods ensnares Blueray Cargo boss John Field. In the prosecutors’ indictment, Djaka Budi is mentioned as attending a series of meetings between DJBC officials and cargo entrepreneurs before the alleged conditioning of import lanes occurred. These meetings with the entrepreneurs took place at the Borobudur Hotel in Central Jakarta around July 2025.

“A meeting was held between officials from the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, including Djaka Budi Utama, Rizal Fadillah, Sisprian Subiaksono, and Orlando Hamonangan Sianipar, with cargo entrepreneurs,” states the KPK prosecutors’ indictment.

Following these meetings, from July 2025 to January 2026, John Field is known to have given a total of Rp61,301,939,000 in Singapore dollars to DJBC officials.

Additionally, from the indictment, entertainment facilities and luxury goods worth Rp1,845,000,000 were provided to several officials.

Rizal, as the former Director of Enforcement and Investigation at DJBC, is said to have received Rp2 billion in nearly every money handover, while Sisprian Subiaksono, Head of the Subdirectorate of Enforcement and Investigation Intelligence at DJBC, received Rp1 billion. Furthermore, Orlando Hamonangan, Head of the DJBC Intelligence Section, received Rp450 million to Rp600 million, along with entertainment facilities worth Rp1.45 billion and a Tag Heuer watch worth Rp65 million.

In response to this, Customs and Excise stated that they respect the ongoing legal process in court, while upholding the principle of presumption of innocence.

“As this case has entered the trial stage, to respect and maintain the independence of that process, we will not comment on the substance of the case,” said Budi Prasetiyo, Deputy Head of Public Relations and Outreach at Customs and Excise, on Thursday (7/5/2026).

As a public official, Djaka Budi Utama’s wealth has come under scrutiny.

Quoting the State Organiser’s Wealth Report (LHKPN) from the KPK, Djaka last reported his assets on 26 February 2026. His total wealth amounts to approximately Rp5.7 billion.

The breakdown includes most of his assets in land and buildings worth Rp3.8 billion, cash and cash equivalents Rp1.1 billion, and other assets Rp442.2 million.

Djaka only registered one motor vehicle, a 2021 Toyota Innova. Meanwhile, his income from own efforts is recorded at Rp250 million.
