Three Customs Officials Charged with Accepting Bribes and Gratuities Totalling Rp 78.8 Billion
Three officials from the Directorate General of Customs and Excise under the Ministry of Finance have been indicted for receiving bribes and gratifications worth Rp 78.8 billion. Prosecutors stated that these bribes and gratifications were received in both Rupiah and foreign currencies.
The indictment hearing was held at the Jakarta Corruption Court on Friday (3/7/2026). The three Customs officials named are Rizal, serving as the Director of Enforcement and Investigation; Sisprian Subiaksono, as the Sub-Director of Intelligence of the Directorate of Enforcement and Investigation; and Orlando Hamonangan, as the Head of the Customs Intelligence Section I of the Directorate of Enforcement and Investigation.
Prosecutors allege that the defendants received approximately Rp 61.7 billion in cash and entertainment facilities worth Rp 1.8 billion. These funds were allegedly provided by John Field, the leader of Blueray Cargo (Group), Dedy Kurniawan Sukolo, the Operational Manager of Port Custom Clearance at Blueray Cargo (Group), and Andri, the Import Documentation Team Leader at Blueray Cargo (Group).
“They have participated in several interconnected criminal acts viewed as continuous offences, specifically receiving gifts or promises, namely receiving gifts in the form of money totalling Rp 61,743,597,000 in Singapore Dollars (SGD), as well as entertainment facilities and luxury goods worth at least Rp 1,846,221,515,” stated KPK Prosecutor M. Takdir Suhan while reading the indictment.
According to the prosecution, Rizal received a share of Rp 14 billion, Sispymian received Rp 7 billion, and Orlando received Rp 4.05 billion, along with entertainment facilities and luxury goods worth Rp 1.516 billion. The prosecution stated that this money was provided to ensure that Blueray Cargo’s imported goods could bypass customs inspections more quickly.
“It is known or suspected that these gifts or promises were given to influence them to perform or refrain from performing something in their official capacity, namely to ensure that Blueray Cargo Group’s imports could exit the customs supervision process more rapidly, which is contrary to their duties,” the prosecutor added.
In addition to the bribery charges, prosecutors also indicted Rizal, Sisprian, and Orlando, alongside Budiman Bayu Prasojo, the Head of the Excise Intelligence Section, for receiving gratifications from several importers and tobacco entrepreneurs. These gratifications totalled approximately Rp 15.2 billion, comprising various currencies including SGD, USD, HKD, and MYR.
“The total amount of bribes and gratifications received by Rizal, Sisprian, and Orlando—consisting of Rp 61,743,597,000 in cash, Rp 1,846,221,515 in luxury goods and entertainment, and Rp 15,222,893,725 in gratifications—amounts to Rp 78,812,712,240,” the prosecutor noted.
Furthermore, Orlando Hamonangan is specifically charged with receiving customs-related gratifications from importers totalling approximately Rp 8.1 billion, including significant amounts in SGD and USD.
Rizal, Sisprian, and Orlando have been charged under Article 12 letter a or Article 606 juncto Article 18 of the Anti-Corruption Law, in conjunction with various provisions of the Criminal Code (KUHP).
