KPK Detains Budiman Bayu, Head of Customs Intelligence Unit at Finance Ministry Over Import Case
JAKARTA – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) detained Budiman Bayu Prasojo, head of the Customs Investigation and Prosecution Intelligence Division (P2) at the General Directorate of Customs and Excise (DJBC) of the Ministry of Finance, on Friday, 27 February 2026.
Prasojo was detained after being designated as a suspect in an alleged gratification case involving goods importation within the DJBC on Thursday, 26 February 2026.
“The KPK proceeded to detain BBP for an initial 20-day period from 27 February to 18 March 2026. Detention is being carried out at the State Detention Centre (Rutan) Branch of the KPK’s Red and White Building,” said Asep Guntur Rahayu, Deputy for Enforcement and Execution at the KPK, in a press conference at the Red and White Building in Jakarta on Friday.
Asep stated that in this matter, Budiman Bayu Prasojo ordered a Customs official named Salisa Asmoaji to manage and receive money from business owners whose products were subject to excise duties and importers since November 2024.
“The money is alleged to come from suspected corruption offences related to the regulation of goods importation routes (customs) and excise management,” he said.
Asep stated that the money collected and managed by Salisa was allegedly used as operational funds since Sisprian Subiaksono served as deputy head of the Intelligence Division.
Subsequently, in early February 2026, Budiman Bayu instructed Salisa to clear a “safe house” located in Central Jakarta.
Salisa, he said, transferred the funds to another safe house located in an apartment in the Ciputat area of South Tangerang.
Based on these facts, Asep stated that investigators concluded that Budiman and Sisprian jointly or participated in committing corruption offences involving the receipt of gratuities as civil servants or state officials.
“Including receiving gifts that are directly related to their position and contrary to their obligations during the 2024-2026 period,” he said.
For his actions, Budiman Bayu is charged with violating Article 12 B of Law No. 31 of 1999 read together with Law No. 20 of 2001, read together with Article 20(c) of Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (KUHP).
Previously, the KPK arrested Budiman Bayu Prasojo, a Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) official, after he was designated as a suspect in an alleged corruption case involving goods importation within the DJBC.
KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said Budiman was arrested at the DJBC headquarters in Jakarta at 16:00 WIB.
