KPK: Container at Tanjung Mas Was Once Handled by BlueRay, Current Management Unclear
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has provided further details regarding the examination of businessman Heri Setiyono, also known as Heri Black, today. The KPK stated that today’s examination remains linked to the seizure of a container’s contents at Tanjung Mas Port, Semarang.
KPK Director of Investigation Achmad Taufik Husein explained that during questioning, Heri Black stated that the container’s contents were once handled by BlueRay. However, the management of the container’s contents is now unclear after BlueRay became entangled in a legal case.
“The management of this container’s contents is now unclear, because from the examinations of several parties, including Mr HB or HS himself, he stated that it was previously part of BlueRay’s handling,” Taufik told reporters at the KPK’s Merah Putih building in South Jakarta on Thursday (11/6/2026).
“But then, because of a criminal incident currently being handled by the KPK, it was subsequently managed by other parties. This is what investigators want to probe further,” he added.
It is understood that the KPK examined businessman Heri Setiyono as a witness in the alleged import corruption case at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise today. The KPK previously stated it was confirming with Heri regarding findings of attempts to obstruct the case investigation.
KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said, “Previously, the KPK also conducted examinations of HS’s staff in relation to information about the collection of materials and data suspected of being aimed at obstructing the investigation of this case.”
Budi revealed that the results of today’s examination of Heri would be analysed. This includes checking their consistency with other evidence already held by investigators in this case.
“Investigators will certainly analyse and probe deeper from the statements already obtained, both from BBE and witness testimonies,” Budi stated. “Whether this then falls under the elements of Article 21 or obstruction of justice, we will see how it develops,” he added.
On this occasion, Budi also responded to Heri’s claim that the container seized by the KPK at Tanjung Mas Port, Semarang, did not belong to him. Budi stated the KPK would conduct comprehensive verification of all obtained findings.
“We will prove it. Of course, statements are not taken from just one side. Every finding obtained by the team, whether from search activities or other investigative activities, will certainly be complemented by witness statements,” Budi explained. “And certainly not just one witness will be asked to provide an explanation regarding the findings from the search,” he concluded.
Heri Black was re-examined by the KPK as a witness today. Following the examination, Heri explained that the container seized by the KPK at Tanjung Mas Port did not belong to him. “No, it is not,” said Heri Black after being questioned at the KPK’s Merah Putih building in Kuningan, South Jakarta, Thursday (11/6).
Heri was responding to a reporter’s question regarding the ownership of the container seized by the KPK at Tanjung Mas Port, Semarang. Afterwards, Heri Black immediately left without answering further questions from the media.
Today’s questioning by the KPK was the second for Heri Black. He was previously examined by the KPK in relation to this case on Monday (18/5).
