KPK Examines Manager of Safe House in Customs Official Corruption Case
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined Salisa Asmoaji, the manager of a safe house and an employee of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, as a witness in the alleged corruption case involving imports at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.
The examination was conducted at the KPK Merah Putih Building,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in his statement on Monday (4/5/2026).
However, Budi has not yet disclosed the material that investigators will delve into during today’s examination.
Previously, the KPK stated that investigators suspect Salisa Asmoaji, an employee of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) under the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu), of managing and receiving money from entrepreneurs whose products are subject to excise duties and from importers.
KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Asep Guntur Rahayu said that the corrupt practice was carried out by Salisa since November 2024.
“SA, as an employee in the Enforcement and Investigation Directorate or P2 of Customs and Excise, is suspected of receiving and managing money from companies whose products are subject to excise duties, whether produced domestically or imported goods subject to excise duties, as well as from importers,” said Asep during a press conference at the Merah Putih Building, Jakarta, on Friday (27/2/2026).
He said that the money collected and managed by Salisa was stored in an apartment located in Central Jakarta as a “safe house” rented since mid-2024 on direct instructions from Budiman Bayu and Sisprian Subiaksono.
“That money is suspected to originate from alleged corruption offences related to arranging import entry pathways (customs) and handling excise duties,” he stated.
Asep said that the money collected and managed by Salisa is suspected to have been used as operational funds since Sisprian Subiaksono served as Head of the Intelligence Sub-Directorate.
Subsequently, in early February 2026, Budiman Bayu instructed Salisa to clean the “safe house” or safe house located in Central Jakarta.
Salisa, he said, moved the money to another safe house located in an apartment in the Ciputat area, South Tangerang.
“Investigators then conducted searches at the two aforementioned safe house locations. There, investigators found cash in various foreign currencies and rupiah totalling more than Rp 5.19 billion, stored in five suitcases,” he explained.
Based on these facts, Asep said that investigators have concluded that Budiman and Sisprian, either jointly or in complicity, committed the criminal offence of corruption involving the receipt of gratuities as civil servants or state officials.
