JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is delving into allegations of money being given to rogue officials at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) in a case involving the importation of counterfeit goods.

KPK explored this matter during the examination of Aditya Rahman Rony Putra, a civil servant at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu), as a witness in the suspected corruption case within DJBC on Wednesday (15/4/2026).

“Two witnesses were examined, with the focus on probing allegations of payments to rogue elements at the Directorate of Customs and Excise,” stated KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in his remarks on Thursday (16/4/2026).

He did not disclose the amount of money that Aditya gave to the rogue officials in question.

KPK initially named six suspects in this case: Rizal, the Director of Enforcement and Investigation at DJBC for the 2024-2026 period; Sisprian Subiaksono, Head of the Subdirectorate of Intelligence at P2 DJBC; and Orlando Hamonangan, Head of the Customs Intelligence Section at DJBC, on Thursday (5/2/2026).

The others include John Field, owner of PT Blueray; Andri, Head of the Import Documents Team at PT Blueray; and Dedy Kurniawan, Operations Manager at PT Blueray.

Most recently, KPK named Budiman Bayu Prasojo, Head of the Excise Intelligence Section at Enforcement and Investigation (P2) DJBC, as a suspect on Friday (27/2/2026).

“PT BR sought to ensure that goods under its auspices entering from abroad would not be inspected, allowing them to pass smoothly through customs checks,” said Asep during a press conference on Thursday evening (5/2/2026).

Asep explained that the criminal conspiracy between PT Blueray and several parties at DJBC began in October 2025.

From DJBC, the parties involved were Sisprian Subiaksono, Head of the Subdirectorate of Intelligence at P2 DJBC, and Orlando Hamonangan, Head of the Intelligence Section at DJBC.

From PT Blueray, they were John Field, the owner; Andri from the import documents team; and Dedy Kurniawan, the Operations Manager.

“A criminal conspiracy occurred between ORL, SIS, and other parties with JF, AND, and DK to arrange the import route planning for goods entering Indonesia,” Asep clarified.

However, according to the Minister of Finance Regulation (Permenkeu), two categories of routes have been established for the service and supervision of imported goods to determine the level of inspection before release from customs areas.

For their actions, Rizal, Sisprian Subiaksono, and Orlando Hamonangan, as recipients, are charged under Article 12 letters a and b of Law No. 31 of 1999 as amended by Law No. 20 of 2021, and Article 605 paragraph 2 and Article 606 paragraph 2 in conjunction with Articles 20 and 21 of Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code.

The three are also charged under Article 12 B of Law No. 31 of 1999 as amended by Law No. 20 of 2021 in conjunction with Articles 20 and 21 of Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code.

Meanwhile, John Field, Andri, and Dedy Kurniawan, as givers, are charged under Articles 605 paragraphs 1 a and b and 606 paragraph 1 of Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code.
