KPK suspects Rp5 billion seized in Ciputat is linked to customs and excise

“The money found and secured during the search is suspected to originate from customs and excise processes. This is all mixed together, and investigators will certainly investigate further,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo at the KPK’s Red and White Building, Jakarta, Thursday.

Meanwhile, Budi said that after tracing who the owner of the money was, the KPK suspected that the Rp5 billion in five suitcases was still related to the six suspects who had previously been named, and Budiman Bayu Prasojo as the new suspect.

Previously, on February 4, 2026, the KPK carried out a sting operation (OTT) in the Directorate General of Customs and Excise of the Ministry of Finance.

On the same date, the KPK revealed that one of the people arrested in the OTT was the Head of the Regional Office of the DJBC for West Sumatra, Rizal.

On February 5, 2026, the KPK announced that six of the 17 people arrested were then named as suspects in the case of alleged bribery and gratification related to the import of counterfeit goods within the DJBC.

They are Rizal (RZL) as Director of Enforcement and Investigation of the DJBC for the period 2024-January 2026, Head of the Sub-Directorate of Intelligence for Enforcement and Investigation of the DJBC, Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS), and Head of the Intelligence Section of the DJBC, Orlando Hamonangan (ORL).

Furthermore, 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).

On February 26, 2026, the KPK announced Budiman Bayu Prasojo (BBP) as a new suspect in the case after investigating the testimony of witnesses, especially regarding the search of one of the safe houses in the Ciputat area, South Tangerang, Banten, on February 13, 2026, which also confiscated approximately Rp5 billion in cash in five suitcases.
