KPK Probes Foreign Currency Exchange by Suspect in Customs Corruption Case
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is probing allegations of foreign currency exchange by one of the suspects in a corruption case involving the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, Ministry of Finance, Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS).
Spokesman Budi Prasetyo said the probe was carried out by investigators as they questioned a money changer operator, with initials DS, as a witness in the case on Thursday, 21 May 2026.
“The witness, as the owner of a money changer (foreign exchange business), was questioned by investigators regarding alleged foreign exchange dealings by the suspect SIS,” Budi said on Friday, 22 May 2026, quoted by Antara.
Initially, there were six suspects in the case: Rizal, Director of Enforcement and Investigation (P2) DJBC for 2024–2026; Sisprian Subiaksono, Head of Intelligence Subdirectorate, P2 DJBC; Orlando Hamonangan, Head of Intelligence, DJBC; John Field, Owner of PT Blueray; Andri, Chair of the Import Documents Team at PT Blueray; and Dedy Kurniawan, Operational Manager of PT Blueray.
Most recently, the KPK named Budiman Bayu Prasojo, Head of the Section for Intelligence, Enforcement and Investigation (P2) of DJBC, as a suspect.
The KPK then detected a possible conspiracy between PT Blueray and several parties within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise to realise John Field’s wishes.
This conspiracy involved the suspects arranging import routes for goods brought into Indonesia by PT Blueray to avoid inspections.
Indeed, according to the Ministry of Finance Regulation (Permenkeu), there are two categories of import routes in the service and supervision of imported goods to determine the level of inspection before clearance from the customs area.
Three of the suspects are also charged under Article 12 B of Law No. 31 of 1999 as amended by Law No. 20 of 2021, and Articles 20 and 21 of Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Indonesian Penal Code.
Separately, John Field, Andri and Dedy Kurniawan, as the providers, are charged with violating Article 605(1)(a) and (b) and Article 606(1) of Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Indonesian Penal Code.
