KPK Seeks Information from Forwarder Other Than Blueray Cargo
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has sought information from a forwarder or provider of import goods shipping services other than PT Blueray Cargo.
The request for information was made by the KPK to a witness named Ahmad Kusaeri alias Uthie, a self-employed individual, on Wednesday (8/4).
“The witness was questioned about the mechanisms and processes carried out as a forwarder in the importation of goods,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to journalists in Jakarta on Thursday.
In addition, Budi stated that on that date, the KPK also examined an employee of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise of the Ministry of Finance named Senen as a witness.
“The witness was further questioned about his knowledge regarding alleged receipts carried out by rogue elements in the Directorate General of Customs and Excise,” he said.
Both Uthie and Senen were examined by the KPK as witnesses in the case of alleged bribery and gratification within the Customs and Excise environment.
Previously, on 4 February 2026, the KPK conducted a sting operation (OTT) within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise of the Ministry of Finance.
On the same date, the KPK revealed that one of the individuals arrested in the OTT was Rizal, Head of the West Sumatra Regional Customs Office.
On 5 February 2026, the KPK announced that six out of 17 people arrested were subsequently designated as suspects in the alleged bribery and gratification case related to the importation of counterfeit or imitation goods within the Customs and Excise environment.
They are Rizal (RZL) as Director of Enforcement and Investigation of Customs and Excise for the period 2024-January 2026, Head of Subdirectorate of Enforcement and Investigation Intelligence of Customs and Excise Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS), and Head of Customs Intelligence Section Orlando Hamonangan (ORL).
Furthermore, the owner of Blueray Cargo John Field (JF), Chairman of the Import Documentation Team of Blueray Cargo Andri (AND), and Operational Manager of Blueray Cargo Dedy Kurniawan (DK).
On 26 February 2026, the KPK announced Budiman Bayu Prasojo (BBP), Head of Excise Intelligence Section of the Directorate of Enforcement and Investigation of Customs and Excise, as a new suspect in the case.
On 27 February 2026, the KPK announced that it was delving deeper into allegations of corruption in excise management. This deepening was conducted particularly after the seizure of Rp5.19 billion in five suitcases from a safe house in Ciputat, South Tangerang, Banten, which is suspected to originate from customs and excise.
