KPK Searches Home of Heri Black in Connection with Customs Case

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) searched the home of one party suspected of being affiliated with Blueray Cargo (Group) on Monday (11/5). Based on information gathered, the house is believed to belong to Heri Setiyono alias Heri Black, a witness in the KPK’s investigation into alleged corruption at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. “Investigators searched one party suspected of being affiliated with Blueray. In the search, investigators secured several notes and electronic evidence,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in a written statement on Wednesday (13/5). Budi explained that from the seized evidence, investigators obtained information regarding efforts to hinder the investigation process of this case. The information consists of conditioning efforts from external parties in the handling of the customs-related case at the KPK. “This can be viewed or fall into the category of efforts to obstruct the investigation, either directly or indirectly. Therefore, investigators will certainly consider whether these actions meet the elements of obstructing the investigation or not,” Budi stated. CNNIndonesia.com has not yet received any statement or response from Heri Black regarding the coercive measures taken by the KPK. Heri Black was scheduled for examination as a witness on Friday, 8 May 2026, but he did not attend. The KPK also searched and seized a container believed to belong to an importer affiliated with Blueray. The container is still at Tanjung Emas Port in Semarang, where the owner has not submitted an Import Goods Notification to Customs and Excise for more than 30 days. When opened, the container contained items falling under prohibited or restricted import criteria, namely vehicle spare parts. “Investigators will certainly clarify this with Blueray parties and related parties, including the importing company, forwarder, and the Directorate General of Customs and Excise,” Budi said. This legal process is to complete the case file for seven suspects already named 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 from 2024 to January 2026, Rizal; Head of Subdirectorate of Enforcement Intelligence and Investigation at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (Kasubdit Intel P2 DJBC), Sisprian Subiaksono; Head of Customs and Excise Intelligence Section at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (Kasi Intel DJBC), Orlando; Chairman of the Import Documents Team at PT Blueray, Andri; Customs and Excise Directorate General 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’s State Detention House (Rutan). For the PT Blueray parties, they are facing trial at the Corruption Court (Tipikor) at the Central Jakarta District Court (PN). In the ongoing investigation, the KPK has searched a Safe Deposit Box (SDB) at a bank in Medan City believed to belong to Rizal. The SDB contained precious metals, US dollars and Ringgit foreign currency, and Rupiah cash 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 includes an Apple Mac computer complete with Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse, a Lumix S5IIX mirrorless camera with spare batteries, a monitor, and a Boss brand wireless microphone system (WL-30XLR Wireless System).
