KPK examines Customs official with initials ARR regarding money flows
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined an employee of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise under the Ministry of Finance with initials ARR on 6 May 2026 to delve deeper into the money flows in the alleged corruption case within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.
“The witness attended and was questioned regarding the alleged receipts from the importation of goods,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to journalists in Jakarta on Thursday.
When asked to confirm whether witness ARR was being examined by the KPK due to suspicions of receiving money flows in the case, Budi stated that the individual was not being questioned for that reason.
“No, but rather regarding his knowledge of the alleged receipts by certain individuals in the Directorate General of Customs and Excise,” he clarified.
In the operation, one of the parties secured was Rizal, Head of the West Sumatra Regional Customs and Excise Office.
The following day, the KPK designated six out of 17 secured individuals as suspects in the alleged bribery and gratifications case related to the importation of counterfeit goods within the Customs and Excise environment.
They are Rizal (RZL) as Director of Enforcement and Investigation of Customs and Excise from 2024 to January 2026, Head of Subdirectorate of Enforcement and Investigation Intelligence Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS), and Head of Customs Intelligence Section Orlando Hamonangan (ORL).
In addition, the KPK also designated the owner of Blueray Cargo, John Field (JF), Chairman of the Import Documentation Team of Blueray Cargo Andri (AND), and Operational Manager of Blueray Cargo Dedy Kurniawan (DK) as suspects.
On 26 February 2026, the KPK again designated a new suspect, namely Budiman Bayu Prasojo (BBP), Head of the Excise Intelligence Section of the Directorate of Enforcement and Investigation of Customs and Excise.
Subsequently, on 27 February 2026, the KPK revealed that it was delving into alleged corruption in excise management, among other things following the seizure of Rp5.19 billion in cash in five suitcases from a house in Ciputat, South Tangerang, which is suspected to be related to the case.
