Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has summoned SA, an employee of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise under the Ministry of Finance, as a witness in the investigation of an alleged corruption case within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.

“The examination of SA, who is a civil servant at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to journalists in Jakarta on Monday.

Budi explained that the examination of witness SA is scheduled to take place at the KPK’s Red and White Building in Jakarta.

Witness SA is known to have been previously summoned by the KPK on 9 April 2026.

Previously, on 4 February 2026, the KPK conducted a sting operation (OTT) within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise under the Ministry of Finance.

In that operation, one of the parties secured was Rizal, Head of the West Sumatra Regional Customs Office.

The following day, the KPK designated six out of 17 individuals secured as suspects in the alleged bribery and gratifications case related to the importation of counterfeit goods within the Customs and Excise environment.

They are Rizal (RZL), who served as Director of Enforcement and Investigation of Customs and Excise from 2024 to January 2026, Head of the Subdirectorate of Enforcement and Investigation Intelligence of Customs and Excise Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS), and Head of the Customs Intelligence Section Orlando Hamonangan (ORL).

In addition, the KPK also designated 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) as suspects.

On 26 February 2026, the KPK designated a new suspect, namely Budiman Bayu Prasojo (BBP), Head of the Excise Intelligence Section of the Directorate of Enforcement and Investigation of Customs and Excise.

Subsequently, on 27 February 2026, the KPK revealed that it was delving deeper into alleged corruption in excise management, including after the seizure of Rp5.19 billion in cash in five suitcases from a house in Ciputat, South Tangerang, which is suspected to be related to the case.
