KPK Probes Excise Management Mechanisms in Examination of Tobacco Entrepreneur Haji Her
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has examined tobacco entrepreneur from Madura, Khairul Umam alias Haji Her, in connection with the alleged bribery case for importing goods at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu). The KPK is delving into the procedures for handling excise duties.
“In this examination, investigators delved into how Mr HR (Haji Her) handles excise duties, how the mechanisms are reported. Whether it complies with the new procedures at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise in handling those excise duties,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters at the KPK in South Jakarta on Thursday (9/4/2026).
Budi mentioned that several cigarette companies handling excise stamps have been examined. The KPK will also trace other goods that use excise duties.
“Whether later, besides cigarettes, we will enter other goods whose distribution is also restricted by the state, we will see the developments. For now, we are still focusing on cigarette companies first,” he said.
Budi also revealed a bit about the examination material of Salisa Asmoji (SA), a Customs and Excise employee today. The KPK delved into the giving of money from companies in this case.
“In today’s examination, investigators examined witness Mr SA, regarding tobacco companies or entrepreneurs who are alleged to have given some money to unscrupulous elements at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise,” he revealed.
Regarding this case, KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Asep Guntur Rahayu revealed there was an agreement between the Head of Customs and Excise Intelligence Section, Orlando Hamonangan, and the Deputy Head of Customs and Excise Intelligence Subdirectorate Sisprian Subiaksono with the owner of PT Blueray John Field, Head of PT Blueray Import Documents Team Andri, and PT Blueray Operational Manager Dedy Kurniawan in October 2025. They are alleged to have agreed to arrange the import route for goods into Indonesia.
The 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 goods release route without physical checks and a red route which is the goods release route with physical checks.
“Subsequently, FLR (Filar, a Customs and Excise employee) received instructions from ORL (Orlando) to adjust the red route parameters and followed it up by compiling a rule set at 70 percent,” said Asep as quoted on Friday (6/2).
