KPK Reveals Location of Rp 5 Billion Seizure at Tangerang Safe House in Customs Bribery Case
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) seized Rp 5 billion during a raid on a location in Ciputat, South Tangerang, in connection with an alleged bribery case involving officials of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) at the Ministry of Finance. The KPK revealed that the location was one of the suspects’ safe houses.
“The money in the suitcases that was secured when investigators conducted the raid was at a safe house. Investigators will naturally examine the findings of five suitcases containing money in greater depth,” KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo told reporters on Wednesday (18 February 2026).
The KPK is still investigating the use of the safe house for storing money believed to be the proceeds of bribery. Budi did not disclose who owned the safe house.
“The parties also used it to store money suspected of being connected to this case. Investigators will examine the suspected flow of money originating from or connected to the alleged corruption offence in the importation of goods at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. This includes whether other parties were involved in the modus operandi of manipulating goods entry channels,” he said.
The KPK stated that it had seized a number of items of evidence during the raid, including billions of rupiah transported in suitcases.
“During the raid, the team secured evidence comprising five suitcases containing cash worth more than Rp 5 billion. The cash was in the form of rupiah, US dollars, Singapore dollars, Hong Kong dollars, and ringgit,” Budi said on Friday (13 February).
In addition, the KPK seized electronic documents. The investigation team will subsequently analyse each piece of evidence recovered.
The KPK had previously revealed that rogue customs officials had rented a safe house specifically to store money and goods.
“Yes, it is suspected that these rogue officials from the Directorate General of Customs and Excise prepared a safe house to store items such as money and precious metals. It was specifically prepared as a storage facility,” KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said at a press conference at KPK headquarters in Kuningan, Jakarta, on Thursday (5 February).
In total, there are six suspects in this case:
- Rizal (RZL), Director of Enforcement and Investigation at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (P2 DJBC) for the period 2024 to January 2026;
- Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS), Head of the Intelligence Sub-directorate for Enforcement and Investigation at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise;

- Jhon Field (JF), owner of PT Blueray;

The KPK suspects that the bribery was intended to facilitate the entry of illegal and counterfeit goods into Indonesia. The KPK has seized evidence totalling approximately Rp 40.5 billion in connection with this case.
