The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the ownership of a safe house in the Ciputat area of South Tangerang, Banten, in connection with an alleged bribery and gratification case involving the importation of counterfeit goods within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) at the Ministry of Finance.
“The ownership is still being investigated,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo on Wednesday (18 February), explaining the ownership of the safe house uncovered on 13 February 2026.
Budi added that the KPK is also still investigating the ownership of a safe house previously revealed during the press conference announcing suspects in the case on 5 February 2026.
“This includes the use of the safe house as part of the sequence of events in the sting operation the previous week, where the parties involved also used it to store money allegedly connected to this case,” he said.
Previously, on 4 February 2026, the KPK confirmed it had conducted a sting operation within the DJBC at the Ministry of Finance.
On the same date, the KPK revealed that one of the individuals arrested in the operation was Rizal, the Head of the Western Sumatra Regional Office of the DJBC.
On 5 February 2026, the KPK announced that six of the 17 individuals arrested had been named as suspects in the alleged bribery and gratification case related to the importation of counterfeit goods within the DJBC.
The suspects are Rizal (RZL), serving as Director of Enforcement and Investigation at DJBC from 2024 to January 2026; Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS), Head of the Intelligence Sub-directorate for Enforcement and Investigation at DJBC; and Orlando Hamonangan (ORL), Head of the Intelligence Section at DJBC.
The remaining suspects are John Field (JF), owner of Blueray Cargo; Andri (AND), Head of the Import Documentation Team at Blueray Cargo; and Dedy Kurniawan (DK), Operations Manager at Blueray Cargo.
On 13 February 2026, the KPK announced the seizure of approximately Rp5 billion in five suitcases in the Ciputat area. However, the anti-corruption body had not yet provided details on whether the seizure took place at a house, office, or other location.
