KPK Examines Cigarette Entrepreneurs Following Document Discovery at Customs and Excise Directorate General Office
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is examining several cigarette entrepreneurs following the discovery of a document during a search at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) office. The examinations include Khairul Umam alias Haji Her.
KPK Acting Director of Investigations, Achmad Taufik Husein, stated that these examinations relate to an alleged corruption case at DJBC concerning the management of cigarette excise duties. KPK is also questioning other cigarette entrepreneurs such as Liem Eng Hwie, H Rakhmawan, Benny Tan, and Martinus Suparman.
“For Haji Her, the results of the search we conducted at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise office included several documents prepared by the suspect, Brother Otoy (Orlando). We then analysed them, and that’s where we found several names of cigarette entrepreneurs,” Taufik said during a press conference at the KPK building in South Jakarta on Monday (13/4/2026).
KPK then mapped and identified the discovered documents for the investigation of this case. KPK continues to trace the involvement of other parties besides the existing suspects.
“So indeed, we do not select selectively, meaning that if there are findings of documents as I mentioned earlier in other cases, when we find documents containing several points that are still related, we will carry out clarifications,” he said.
“So that means yes, we adhere to the principle of presumption of innocence, but when we summon, we ensure that it all has a basis,” he added.
Seven Suspects
Regarding this case, KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Asep Guntur Rahayu revealed that there was an agreement between the Head of Customs and Excise Intelligence Section, Orlando Hamonangan, and the Head of Customs and Excise Intelligence Subsection Sisprian Subiaksono with the owner of PT Blueray John Field, the Head of PT Blueray’s Import Documents Team Andri, and PT Blueray’s Operations Manager Dedy Kurniawan in October 2025. They are suspected of agreeing to arrange import routes for goods into Indonesia.
KPK stated that the Minister of Finance Regulation regulates two types of routes in import goods supervision services. There is a green route, which is the route for releasing goods without physical checks, and a red route, which is the route for releasing goods with physical checks.
“Subsequently, FLR (Filar Customs officer) received instructions from ORL (Orlando) to adjust the red route parameters and follow it up by compiling a rule set at 70 percent,” Asep said, as quoted on Friday (6/2).
In total, there are now seven suspects in the bribery case for importing goods at Customs. Here are their identities:
Rizal (RZL) as Director of Enforcement and Investigation of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (P2 DJBC) from 2024 to January 2026;
