John Field and Associates to Be Tried Soon in Customs Import Bribery Case
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has transferred the case files of three bribery suspects in the import goods bribery case at the Directorate General of Customs (DJBC) to the Jakarta Corruption Court. One of the transferred suspects is John Field (JF), owner of PT Blueray.
“Our prosecution team has transferred the indictment along with the case files of the defendant John Field and associates to the Central Jakarta Corruption Court,” said KPK prosecutor M Takdir in his statement on Tuesday (21/4/2026).
The transfer took place today. The case files of the other two suspects transferred are Andri (AND), Head of the Import Documents Team at PT Blueray, and Dedy Kurniawan (DK), Operational Manager at PT Blueray.
“The administration of the transfer via e-berpadu and PTSP has been completed,” he said.
The prosecutor stated that the bribery value in this case exceeds Rp 40 billion. The prosecutors will await the trial schedule from the Central Jakarta District Court to read the indictment in this case.
“The amount of the bribe exceeds the value of the total goods seized at the time of the initial sting operation. We will reveal the details after receiving the determination of the date for the first trial from the panel of judges presiding over the trial,” he said.
Previously, the KPK initially designated six suspects after conducting a sting operation (OTT) at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) in the import bribery case. The KPK secured evidence items in this bribery case totaling Rp 40.5 billion.
“In addition, the KPK team also secured evidence from the residences of RZL, ORL, and PT BR, as well as other locations, as there are several locations, like safe houses. Suspected to be related to this criminal act, totaling Rp 40.5 billion,” said Acting Deputy for Enforcement of the KPK, Asep Guntur Rahayu, at the Merah Putih Building of the KPK, Kuningan, South Jakarta, on Thursday (5/2).
The evidence items secured by the KPK are detailed as follows:
Cash in the form of Rp 1.89 billion
Cash in the form of USD 182,900
Cash in the form of SGD 1.48 million
Cash in the form of JPY 550,000
Precious metal weighing 2.5 kg or equivalent to Rp 7.4 billion
Precious metal weighing 2.8 kg or equivalent to Rp 8.3 billion
1 luxury watch worth Rp 138 million
The KPK stated that this case began with a criminal conspiracy among the suspects to arrange the planning of import routes for goods entering Indonesia. With this conditioning, the goods brought by PT Blueray are suspected of not undergoing physical inspection.
“Thus, counterfeit, imitation, and illegal goods could enter Indonesia without checks by customs officials,” he said.
After the red lane conditioning occurred, there were several meetings and handovers of money from PT Blueray officials to customs officials in the period December 2025-February 2026 at various locations.
“The receipt of this money was also carried out routinely every month as an ‘allowance’ for the officials at DJBC,” he added.
