KPK Seizes Documents after Raiding Six Companies Affiliated with PT Djarum

Jakarta (ANTARA) — Indonesia’s Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) seized a number of documents after searching six companies affiliated with PT Djarum in Kudus Regency, Central Java, on 29 October 2026.

“During the series of searches, investigators secured and seized a number of documents and several pieces of electronic evidence suspected of being related to the case,” KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said in Jakarta on Friday.

Budi said investigators would analyse the documents and electronic evidence to develop their investigation into alleged corruption within the Finance Ministry’s Directorate General of Customs and Excise.

On 21 July 2026, the KPK announced that it was expanding the investigation by issuing two investigation warrants.

By September 2026, several people had been named as suspects in the case: Rizal, head of the Customs and Excise Regional Office for Western Sumatra; Sisprian Subiaksono, head of the Customs and Excise Intelligence Subdirectorate; Orlando Hamonangan, head of Customs and Excise Enforcement Section II; John Field, owner of Blueray Cargo; Dedy Kurniawan, Blueray Cargo’s operations manager; Andri, head of Blueray Cargo’s Import Documentation Team; Budiman Bayu Prasojo, head of Customs and Excise Intelligence Section; Gatot Heroe Hernanda, head of the Kediri Customs and Excise Office; and Ahmad Dedi, a senior functional Customs and Excise official.

On 28 October 2026, the KPK announced a further development in the case, issuing one general investigation warrant. Investigators also searched the Kudus Type Madya Excise Customs and Excise Supervision and Service Office and PT Djarum’s office.

The searches are believed to be connected to the handling of cigarette excise stamps and state revenue from excise. The KPK is also investigating the possibility that payments were made to officials within Customs and Excise.
