KPK Receives Information on Individuals Claiming to Handle Customs Case
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has disclosed information regarding individuals claiming they can handle the management of a case involving alleged bribery in the importation of goods and gratifications within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, originating from Central Java.
“Yesterday, we mentioned parties claiming to be able to handle excise-related cases; this time, we have received further information about parties claiming they can arrange and manage the investigation proceedings at the KPK, specifically in this Customs and Excise case, regarding the handling of goods importation or related customs duties,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo at the agency’s office in Jakarta on Monday (4/5) evening.
“We obtained this information in the area around Semarang,” he added.
KPK has asked relevant parties, including witnesses scheduled for examination, not to believe such information.
Budi explained that case handling at the KPK is conducted openly, with decisions by the leadership made collectively and collegially. It also involves relevant teams, from investigators and prosecutors to those handling prosecutions.
“Thus, we assure that all processes carried out by the KPK are done professionally, including the determination of parties as suspects,” he said.
Examination of Customs Civil Servant
Today, KPK investigators have completed the examination of witness Salisa Asmoaji, a civil servant at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise under the Ministry of Finance. This marks the fourth examination for the individual.
“This is an examination for the umpteenth time, where today’s investigators delved deeper into the witness SA’s knowledge regarding the alleged receipts by officials at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise in handling excise matters,” Budi revealed.
The legal process is to complete the case files for seven suspects already designated by the KPK in the alleged bribery case for goods importation and gratifications.
They are former Director of Investigation and Enforcement at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise for the period 2024-January 2026, Rizal; Head of Subdirectorate for Enforcement Intelligence and Investigation at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (Kasubdit Intel P2 DJBC), Sisprian Subiaksono.
Then, Head of Customs and Excise Intelligence Section (Kasi Intel DJBC), Orlando; Chairman of the Import Documents Team at PT Blueray, Andri; Customs and Excise Directorate employee Budiman Bayu Prasojo; Owner of PT Blueray, John Field; and Operational Manager of PT Blueray, Dedy Kurniawan.
The suspects are already detained at the KPK State Detention House (Rutan).
For the parties from PT Blueray, investigators have forwarded the case files to the Public Prosecutor (JPU). They will face trial.
During the ongoing investigation, the KPK has searched a Safe Deposit Box (SDB) at a bank in Medan city, allegedly belonging to Rizal. The SDB contained precious metals, US dollars and Ringgit foreign currency, as well as Rupiah, with a total value of around Rp2 billion.
Previously, the KPK also seized evidence from the President Director of PT Sinkos Multimedia Mandiri, Faizal Assegaf.
Some of the evidence items include an Apple Mac computer complete with Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse, a Lumix S5IIX mirrorless camera with spare battery, monitor, and a Boss brand wireless microphone system (WL-30XLR Wireless System).
