KPK Detains Customs Official as New Suspect in Import Bribery Case
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has examined Budiman Bayu Prasojo (BBP), Head of Customs Intelligence Section P2 at the Directorate General of Customs (DJBC), who is a new suspect in an import bribery case at the Directorate General of Customs. Budiman is now being held by the KPK.
“We are detaining Mr BBP for the first 20 days from 27 February until 18 March 2026. Detention is being carried out at the Detention House (Rutan) Branch of the KPK’s Red and White Building,” said KPK Deputy for Prosecution and Execution Asep Guntur Rahayu at a press conference at KPK headquarters, Kuningan, South Jakarta, Friday (27/2/2026).
Budiman’s role relates to Rp 5 billion in cash discovered by the KPK in a safe house in Ciputat, South Tangerang. The KPK suspects Budiman ordered Salida Asmoaji (SA), an employee at the Directorate of Prosecution and Investigation (P2) of Customs, to manage money from businessmen whose products are subject to duties and importers.
The money was initially stored in a safe house located in Central Jakarta on Budiman’s instructions. The money was used as operational funds.
“The money is suspected to have originated from alleged corruption offences related to the regulation of import routes for goods or customs and the administration of duties,” he said.
In February 2026, Budiman allegedly ordered Salida to clean the safe house in Central Jakarta. In response to this order, Salida moved the money to another safe house in the Ciputat area.
“In early February 2026, BBP ordered SA to ‘clean’ the safe house located in Central Jakarta. SA then moved the funds to another safe house located in one of the apartments in the Ciputat area, South Tangerang,” he said.
“Investigators then conducted raids at the two safe house locations. Where investigators found cash in various foreign currencies and rupiah totalling more than Rp 5.19 billion, stored in 5 suitcases,” added Asep.
For his actions, Budiman is accused of violating Article 12B of the Corruption Eradication Law juncto Article 20 letter c of Law No 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. Budiman was arrested around 16.00 WIB, Thursday (26/2).
Previously, the KPK revealed that counterfeit and illegal goods could enter Indonesia because of a bribery case involving officials at the Directorate General of Customs (DJBC) of the Finance Ministry. The KPK stated that the bribes meant that inspections were not carried out in accordance with regulations.
Asep Guntur revealed an agreement between the Head of Customs Intelligence Section Orlando Hamonangan and the Head of the Customs Intelligence Subdirectorate Sisprian Subiaksono with the owner of PT Blueray John Field, Head of PT Blueray’s Import Documentation Team Andri, and PT Blueray’s Operations Manager Dedy Kurniawan in October 2025. They allegedly agreed to arrange import routes for goods into Indonesia.
The KPK stated that the Regulation of the Minister of Finance regulates two types of routes in import goods inspection services. There is a green lane which is a goods release route without physical inspection and a red lane which is a goods release route with physical inspection.
“Subsequently, FLR (Customs official Filar) received an order from ORL (Orlando) to adjust the red lane parameters and follow up by establishing a rule set at 70%,” said Asep.
The KPK initially named 6 suspects:
Rizal (RZL) as Director of Prosecution and Investigation at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (P2 DJBC) for the period 2024 to January 2026;
Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS) as Head of the Prosecution and Investigation Intelligence Subdirectorate at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (Kasubdit Intel P2 DJBC);
Orlando (ORL) as Head of the Intelligence Section at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (Kasi Intel DJBC);
John Field (JF) as Owner of PT Blueray
