KPK Detains Seventh Suspect in Counterfeit Goods Import Bribery Case - Budiman Bayu Prasojo
Indonesia’s Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has officially detained Budiman Bayu Prasojo (BBP), Head of Customs Intelligence Section at the Directorate of Investigation and Prosecution of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise under the Ministry of Finance, as the seventh suspect in an alleged bribery and gratification case involving counterfeit goods imports.
“The KPK has detained Mr. BBP for the initial 20-day period from 27 February to 18 March 2026,” said Asep Guntur Rahayu, Deputy for Prosecution and Execution at the KPK, at KPK headquarters in Jakarta on Friday, 27 February 2026.
Prasojo is being held at the State Detention House Branch at KPK’s Red and White Building in Jakarta.
The case originated from a sting operation conducted by the KPK on 4 February 2026 at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) under the Ministry of Finance. On the same day, the KPK revealed that one of those apprehended was Rizal, Head of DJBC’s Regional Office for West Sumatra.
The following day, on 5 February 2026, the KPK announced that six of the 17 individuals arrested had been designated as suspects in the alleged bribery and gratification case involving counterfeit goods imports at DJBC.
The six suspects include: Rizal (RZL), former Director of Investigation and Prosecution at DJBC (2024–January 2026); Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS), Head of the Investigation and Prosecution Intelligence Subdirectorate at DJBC; and Orlando Hamonangan (ORL), Head of the Intelligence Section at DJBC.
Additionally, John Field (JF), owner of Blueray Cargo; Andri (AND), Chair of Blueray Cargo’s Import Documentation Team; and Dedy Kurniawan (DK), Operational Manager of Blueray Cargo, were also designated as suspects.
On 26 February 2026, the KPK expanded the investigation by designating Budiman Bayu Prasojo as a new suspect following detailed witness statements. This designation was also linked to a search of a safe house in Ciputat, Tangerang Selatan, Banten, on 13 February 2026, where investigators seized approximately Rp5 billion in cash stored in five suitcases.
