KPK Seizes Container at Tanjung Emas Port in Connection with Customs Directorate Corruption Case

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) seized a container at Tanjung Emas Port in Semarang, suspected to belong to an importer affiliated with PT Blueray, on Tuesday (12/5/2026). The seizure was carried out in connection with an alleged corruption case involving the importation of goods at the Directorate General of Customs (Ditjen Bea Cukai). “On Tuesday (12/5/2026), investigators proceeded with a search and seizure of the container suspected to belong to an importer affiliated with Blueray. The container remains at Tanjung Emas Port, where the owner has not submitted an Import Goods Notification to Customs (BC) for more than 30 days,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in a statement on Wednesday (13/5/2026). Budi stated that the container contains goods classified as prohibited or restricted for import, namely vehicle spare parts. The KPK initially named six suspects in this case: the Director of Enforcement and Investigation at the Directorate General of Customs (P2 DJBC) for the 2024-2026 period, Rizal; the Head of the Subdirectorate of Intelligence P2 DJBC, Sisprian Subiaksono; and the Head of the Customs Intelligence Section DJBC, Orlando Hamonangan, on Thursday (5/2/2026). The others are the owner of PT Blueray, John Field; the Head of the Import Documents Team at PT Blueray, Andri; and the Operations Manager of PT Blueray, Dedy Kurniawan. Most recently, the KPK named the Head of the Excise Intelligence Section for Enforcement and Investigation (P2) DJBC, Budiman Bayu Prasojo, as a suspect on Friday (27/2/2026). KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Asep Guntur Rahayu said that John Field wanted the counterfeit or fake goods imported by his company, PT Blueray, to enter Indonesia without inspection. Asep explained that the criminal conspiracy between PT Blueray and several parties at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise began in October 2025. From the Directorate General of Customs and Excise side, there were Sisprian Subiaksono as Head of Subdirectorate of Intelligence P2 DJBC and Orlando Hamonangan as Head of Intelligence Section DJBC. From PT Blueray at that time, there were John Field as owner of PT Blueray, Andri from the import documents team at PT Blueray, and Dedy Kurniawan as Operations Manager of PT Blueray. “A criminal conspiracy occurred between ORL, SIS, and other parties with JF, AND, and DK to arrange the planning of import routes for goods entering Indonesia,” Asep clarified. However, according to the Minister of Finance Regulation (Permenkeu), two categories of routes have been established for the service and supervision of imported goods to determine the level of inspection before release from the customs area. The three are also charged with violating Article 12 B of Law No. 31 of 1999 jo. Law No. 20 of 2021 jo. Article 20 jo. Article 21 of Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code. Meanwhile, John Field, Andri, and Dedy Kurniawan, as the givers, are charged with violating Article 605 paragraphs 1 a and b and 606 paragraph 1 of Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code.
