New Suspect in Import Case Linked to Discovery of Five Suitcases of Money

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named Budiman Bayu Prasojo, an employee of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, as a suspect in a bribery case related to imports. This follows the discovery of money in five suitcases at a safe house.

“One of the findings relates to the five suitcases containing Rp5 billion,” said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo in Jakarta, Thursday (26/2).

Budi said that a number of witnesses also explained Budiman’s involvement in the case. One of the testimonies concerned the ownership of the money in the suitcases found by investigators.

“In the results of the search, investigators then delved deeper by questioning witnesses, where the money came from and what it was intended for,” said Budi.

Budiman is currently being questioned by investigators. The KPK confirmed that the evidence they have is sufficient to implicate the new suspect.

“Therefore, the KPK has named BPP as a new suspect in this case,” said Budi.

The KPK has named six suspects in this case, namely the Director of Investigation and Enforcement of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, Rizal (RZL), the Head of the Sub-Directorate of Intelligence for Investigation and Enforcement of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, Sispiran Subiaksono (SIS), and the Head of the Intelligence Section of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, Orlando Hamonangan (ORL).
