KPK signals Ahmad Dedi as suspect in Customs corruption case
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has signalled that it has designated a senior functional official of Customs at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, Ministry of Finance, Ahmad Dedi, also known as Dedi Congor (AD), as a new suspect in an alleged corruption case within the Customs environment.
The KPK hinted at this following the announcement of Ahmad Dedi’s summons as a related party to the case, rather than merely a witness.
“Examination of the related party,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to journalists in Jakarta on Tuesday.
Budi stated that the KPK had scheduled Ahmad Dedi for questioning at the KPK Red and White Building in Jakarta this Tuesday. However, Budi noted that Ahmad Dedi failed to attend the summons due to illness.
“The individual confirmed they could not attend because they are currently unwell,” he said.
Consequently, Budi stated that KPK investigators would reschedule the examination of Ahmad Deki.
“Investigators will reschedule the examination,” he added.
The KPK previously conducted a sting operation (OTT) within the Customs environment in February 2026 and named several individuals as suspects. On 21 July 2026, the KPK announced the expansion of the case through the issuance of two investigation orders.
Subsequently, the KPK summoned Ahmad Dedi to be examined as a witness in the case on 30 July 2026.
As of 26 August 2026, several parties have been named as suspects in the case, namely:
Regional Head of West Sumatra Customs, Rizal
Head of Sub-directorate of Intelligence, Enforcement and Investigation of Customs, Sisprian Subiaksono
Head of Customs Intelligence Section, Orlando Hamonangan
Owner of Blueray Cargo, John Field
Operational Manager of Blueray Cargo, Dedy Kurniawan
Head of Import Documentation Team at Blueray Cargo, Andri
Head of Customs Intelligence Section, Budiman Bayu Prasojo
Head of Kediri Customs Office, Gatot Heroe Hernanda
