KPK confirms summoning Blueray Cargo and Customs after seizing container

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed plans to schedule summons for PT Blueray Cargo up to the Directorate General of Customs and Excise under the Ministry of Finance after seizing a container at Tanjung Emas Port in Semarang, Central Java, on Tuesday, 12 May 2026.

“Investigators will certainly clarify matters with PT BR (Blueray Cargo, ed.) and related parties, including the importing company, forwarder, and the Directorate General of Customs and Excise,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to journalists in Jakarta on Thursday.

He mentioned that the container contained vehicle spare parts falling under restricted or prohibited import criteria.

Budi stated that the reason for summoning Blueray Cargo is that the container is suspected to be owned by an importer affiliated with the company.

“We need confirmation from PT BR to explain and clarify who the importer owner of this container is,” he said.

“We will investigate and delve into all of this, from the importers, forwarders, and the Directorate General of Customs and Excise,” he added.

Previously, on 4 February 2026, the KPK conducted a sting operation (OTT) within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise under the Ministry of Finance.

In that operation, one of the arrested parties was Rizal, Head of the West Sumatra Regional Customs Office.

A day after the OTT, the KPK designated six out of 17 arrested individuals as suspects in the alleged bribery and gratifications case related to the importation of counterfeit goods within Customs and Excise.

Additionally, the KPK designated John Field (JF), owner of Blueray Cargo, Andri (AND), Head of Blueray Cargo’s Import Documentation Team, and Dedy Kurniawan (DK), Blueray Cargo’s Operations Manager, as suspects.

On 26 February 2026, the KPK again designated a new suspect, Budiman Bayu Prasojo (BBP), Head of the Excise Intelligence Section of the Customs and Excise Enforcement and Investigation Directorate.

Subsequently, on 27 February 2026, the KPK revealed it was investigating alleged corruption in excise management after seizing Rp5.19 billion in cash from five suitcases at a house in Ciputat suspected to be related to the case.
