KPK Searches Kudus Customs Office
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is searching the Customs and Excise Supervision and Service Office (KPPBC TMC) in Kudus, Central Java. The search is taking place today.
“There is indeed an operation in the field,” KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo told reporters on Wednesday (28 October 2026).
Budi said the search was part of an expanded investigation by investigators into an import-related case. He said it was still under way.
“[The search is connected to] the development of the investigation,” Budi said.
“The search is still under way. We will provide another update later,” he added.
The KPK previously said it had issued two new investigation warrants as part of its expansion of a corruption case involving imports at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. One warrant names Customs official Gatot Heroe as a suspect, while the other is general in nature and has not yet resulted in any suspect being named.
The KPK is handling the alleged bribery case linked to imports at Customs and Excise. Eight people in total have been charged or are facing legal proceedings.
As the legal process has progressed, three people from Blueray Cargo have been sentenced by judges:

Three Customs officials are currently on trial in the case. They have received prosecution demands ranging from seven and a half to 11 and a half years:

Another defendant, Budiman Bayu Prasojo, head of the Customs Intelligence Section at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, is still undergoing witness examination. Gatot Heroe, head of Supervision and Services at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise’s Kediri regional office, remains under investigation by the KPK.
