KPK Probes Money Flow to Customs Officials in Counterfeit Goods Import Case
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is probing the flow of money from PT Blueray to several officials at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu).
The KPK delved into this matter during the examination of three witnesses related to the alleged bribery case in customs imports at the Merah Putih Building in Jakarta on Monday (6/4/2026).
“The three (witnesses) were present, during which the investigators delved into the alleged flow of money from PT BR (Blueray) to individuals at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in his statement on Tuesday (7/4/2026).
Budi stated that the examination of the three witnesses complements the investigation file so that the case can be promptly forwarded to the prosecution stage.
“So it can be quickly moved to stage two for prosecution. That’s for the customs case,” he said.
Nevertheless, Budi noted that the KPK continues to develop the investigation of the case by summoning several cigarette entrepreneurs.
“Now, from the previous excise cluster, the investigators are also summoning examinations of cigarette entrepreneurs because the investigators need to delve into how the excise handling mechanism is carried out by cigarette entrepreneurs at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise,” he said.
The KPK initially designated six suspects in this case: the Director of Enforcement and Investigation of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (P2 DJBC) for the 2024-2026 period, Rizal; the Head of the Subdirectorate of Intelligence P2 DJBC, Sisprian Subiaksono; and the Head of the Customs Intelligence Section DJBC, Orlando Hamonangan, on Thursday (5/2/2026). Subsequently, there is the Owner of PT Blueray, John Field; the Head of the Import Documents Team of PT Blueray, Andri; and the Operational Manager of PT Blueray, Dedy Kurniawan.
Most recently, the KPK designated the Head of the Excise Intelligence Section of Enforcement and Investigation (P2) DJBC, Budiman Bayu Prasojo, as a suspect on Friday (27/2/2026).
KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution, Asep Guntur Rahayu, stated that John Field wanted the counterfeit or fake goods imported by his company, PT Blueray, to not be inspected upon entering Indonesia.
“PT BR wanted the goods under its auspices entering from abroad to not undergo checks. So they could easily and smoothly pass through the customs inspection,” Asep said during a press conference on Thursday night (5/2/2026).
Asep explained that the criminal conspiracy between PT Blueray and several parties at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise began in October 2025.
