KPK Confirms Bribery Findings in Import Case with Cigarette Businessmen

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has revealed the reasons for summoning several cigarette businessmen in the alleged bribery case concerning imports at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise in recent days. Investigators are confirming findings to prepare the case files.

“Testimonies from these witnesses are certainly needed to confirm the findings or other evidence,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building in South Jakarta on Friday, 3 April 2026.

Budi declined to detail the evidence held by investigators for confirmation with the cigarette businessmen. In this case, most of the evidence was found in safe houses at various locations.

“What has been gathered by investigators, both in the series of hand-caught arrests, search operations, or from statements of suspects and witnesses,” Budi stated.

Not all cigarette businessmen are cooperative in this case. Those who do not appear will be summoned again soon.

“On this occasion, we urge witnesses who have been scheduled but have not yet fulfilled the investigators’ summons to be cooperative in the future, fulfil the summons, and provide the required statements,” Budi said.

Investigators immediately brought Bayu to the KPK’s Merah Putih Building after his arrest. Before the forced action, the KPK first designated Budiman as a suspect.
