Prosecutor Questions Witness Over Codes on Bribe Envelopes: Is There a Director-General of Customs?
Initially, prosecutors revealed the existence of codes on the envelopes at the Jakarta Corruption Court on Wednesday, 20 May 2026. The prosecutors showed photographs of the seized envelopes as evidence. With the court’s permission, they displayed samples of the envelopes bearing the codes, which they claimed Mr. Ocoy understood to indicate who was entitled to the envelopes. He said: ‘Number 1 I do not know, Sir. Number 2 I know, number 3 I know, Sir.’ They asserted that one envelope was intended for the Director General of Customs, with the code number 1. ‘Sales 2, 1 correspond to the Director General of Customs,’ they said, adding the value was 213,600 Singapore dollars. ‘We emphasise this because we hold the evidence,’ the prosecutor said. The question was who gave the envelope to the holder of each code; Ocoy said he did not know. He further testified that he did not know whether the other codes were given directly by witnesses or through others such as Mr. John, Mr. Deddy, or Mr. Andri. Ocoy replied: ‘I do not know, Sir.’ In this case, KPK prosecutors have charged three defendants, the leaders of Blueray Cargo, in a case of import-related bribery at the Directorate General of Customs (DJBC). The defendants are Defendant I John Field, head of Blueray Cargo; Defendant II Deddy Kurniawan Sukolo, Operational Manager of Blueray Cargo; and Defendant III Andri, head of the documents team at Blueray Cargo. The prosecutors say the three provided 61.3 billion rupiah in value, in the form of Singapore dollars amounting to 213,600 SGD. In addition to money, the prosecutors said the three are also charged with providing various facilities and luxury goods worth around Rp 1.8 billion.
