KPK says three Customs and Excise corruption suspects to be tried soon

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has stated that three suspects in an alleged corruption case within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise at the Ministry of Finance will soon stand trial after their case files and indictments were transferred to the Central Jakarta District Court. “The preparation of the indictment by the KPK public prosecutor has been completed and is thorough,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo at the KPK’s Merah Putih building in Jakarta on Tuesday. Budi named the three suspects as Rizal, Sisprian Subiaksono, and Orlando Hamonangan. KPK public prosecutors transferred their indictments and case files to the Central Jakarta District Court on Tuesday. As a result, the KPK is now waiting for the court to set the date for the first hearing. According to Budi, the construction of the case, the role of each defendant, and the alleged unlawful acts will be detailed during the first hearing. He said the public will be able to fully understand the case through the trial process. Previously, on 4 February 2026, the KPK conducted a sting operation within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. The following day, the anti-graft body named six suspects in a case of alleged bribery and gratification related to the import of counterfeit goods. Three of those suspects were Rizal, the Director of Enforcement and Investigation for the 2024-January 2026 period who was then serving as Head of the Customs Regional Office for Western Sumatra; Sisprian Subiaksono, Head of the Enforcement and Investigation Intelligence Sub-Directorate; and Orlando Hamonangan, Head of the Intelligence Section. On 26 February 2026, the KPK named an additional suspect, Budiman Bayu Prasojo, Head of the Excise Intelligence Section at the Directorate of Enforcement and Investigation. Meanwhile, three other suspects, John Field, Andri, and Dedy Kurniawan, had their first trial earlier on 6 May 2026. In the indictment for those three defendants, the name Djaka Budi Utama was mentioned alongside Rizal, Sisprian Subiaksono, and Orlando Hamonangan in connection with a meeting with several cargo entrepreneurs at a hotel in Jakarta in July 2025. During a hearing on 20 May 2026, the KPK prosecutor stated that Djaka Budi Utama allegedly received a bribe of 213,600 Singapore dollars. Subsequently, in a trial on 12 June 2026, John Field admitted to giving money amounting to Rp21 billion to Djaka Budi Utama.
