The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has summoned the Head of the Employee Dismissal and Retirement Subdivision at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, Ministry of Finance, Akhmad Fikri Yahmani, for questioning as a witness in a suspected corruption case within the customs and excise environment. “The KPK has scheduled an examination of the witness with the initials AKH,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to journalists in Jakarta on Thursday. According to Budi, the examination of Akhmad Fikri was scheduled to take place at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building in Jakarta. As of 1.13 p.m. Western Indonesian Time, KPK records showed Akhmad Fikri Yahmani had not yet been recorded as present to comply with the investigators’ summons. A day after a sting operation, the KPK named six suspects in a case of alleged bribery and gratuities related to the import of counterfeit goods within Customs and Excise. They are Rizal (RZL), Director of Enforcement and Investigation at Customs and Excise for the 2024-January 2026 period who is currently serving as Head of the Customs and Excise Regional Office for Western Sumatra; Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS), Head of the Sub-Directorate of Intelligence for Enforcement and Investigation at Customs and Excise; and Orlando Hamonangan (ORL), Head of the Customs and Excise Intelligence Section. In addition, the KPK also named Blueray Cargo owner John Field (JF), Blueray Cargo Import Documentation Team Leader Andri (AND), and Blueray Cargo Operational Manager Dedy Kurniawan (DK) as suspects. On 6 May 2026, John Field, Andri, and Dedy Kurniawan underwent their first trial as defendants. The name of the Director General of Customs and Excise, Djaka Budi Utama, subsequently appeared in the indictment for the three defendants. In the indictment, Djaka Budi, along with Rizal, Sisprian Subiaksono, and Orlando Hamonangan, were said to have met with cargo entrepreneurs at a hotel in Jakarta in July 2025. One of the entrepreneurs present was John Field. At the same trial, the prosecutor read out the examination report of Andri, which contained a statement that John Field had assigned him to deliver money to a deputy and a director of the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency, as well as four officials from the Ministry of Trade.
