The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) conducted a search and seizure of a container believed to belong to an importer affiliated with the Blueray Cargo Group.

“On Tuesday (12/5), investigators moved to search and seize the container believed to belong to an importer affiliated with Blueray,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in a written statement on Wednesday (13/5).

“The container is still at Tanjung Emas Port, where the owner has not submitted an Import Notification to Customs (BC) for more than 30 days,” he added.

Upon opening, the container was found to contain items classified as prohibited or restricted for import, 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,” said Budi.

Additionally, on Monday (11/5), the KPK also searched the home of one party suspected to be affiliated with Blueray.

Based on information gathered, the house is believed to belong to Heri Setiyono alias Heri Black, a witness in the KPK’s ongoing corruption case at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.

“During the search, investigators secured several notes and electronic evidence items,” said Budi.

He explained that from the seized evidence, investigators obtained information regarding efforts to hinder the investigation process in this case.

The information consists of conditioning efforts from external parties in the handling of customs-related cases at the KPK.

“This can be viewed as or fall into the category of obstructing the investigation, either directly or indirectly. Therefore, investigators will consider whether these actions constitute elements of obstructing the investigation,” Budi emphasised.

CNNIndonesia.com has not yet received a statement or response from Heri Black regarding the KPK’s coercive measures.

Heri Black was scheduled for examination as a witness on Friday, 8 May 2026. However, he did not attend.

This legal process is to complete the case file for seven suspects already named by the KPK in the alleged bribery and gratification case in goods importation.

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.

Then Head of Customs 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 Detention Centre.

For the PT Blueray parties, they are currently facing trial at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court.

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.

The KPK previously also seized evidence from the 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).
