Raffi Ahmad Alleged to Have Entrusted Goods via Blueray Cargo, but Shipment Cancelled

Jakarta, VIVA – The name of the Special Envoy to the President for Youth and Arts Development, Raffi Ahmad, has come under scrutiny after being mentioned during the trial of an alleged bribery case involving the importation of goods within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise of the Ministry of Finance.

Raffi’s name emerged in the corruption case involving the leader of Blueray Cargo Group, John Field, and several other parties. However, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has emphasised that, as of now, Raffi Ahmad is not a suspect and no evidence has been found linking him to any criminal acts in this case.

The ongoing trial concerns allegations of bribes worth Rp61 billion paid to several officials within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise to facilitate the importation process.

Raffi’s Name Mentioned in Trial

Raffi Ahmad’s name first surfaced during proceedings at the Jakarta Central Corruption Court. During the trial, KPK prosecutors examined testimony from several witnesses regarding the shipment of goods from the United States to Indonesia via the Blueray Cargo network.

The Acting Director of Investigations at the KPK, Achmad Taufik Husein, confirmed the trial facts stating that Raffi Ahmad had once entrusted goods to Blueray Cargo.

“It is true, there are facts that Mr RA [Raffified Ahmad] entrusted goods,” said Taufik at the KPK Merah Putih Building, Jakarta, on Monday, 8 June 2026.

According to testimony presented in court, Raffi was said to have intended to ship several electronic items from the United States to Indonesia, including laptops and newly released iPhone models. However, the KPK stated that these facts do not automatically imply involvement in the crime being investigated.

KPK Finds No Link to Alleged Bribery

Taufik explained that investigators did not further pursue information regarding the entrusted goods because no facts were found connecting them to the bribery practices allegedly conducted by the shipping company towards Customs and Excise officials.

“We did not develop this further because we have not reached facts that strengthen the claim that this was part of Blueray’s activities in managing customs matters at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise; therefore, we did not issue a summons,” he added.
