Three Defendants in Blueray Cargo and Customs Bribery Case Sentenced to 2 Years in Prison

Three defendants in the alleged bribery case involving Customs and Excise officials at the Ministry of Finance have been found guilty and sentenced to 1.5 and 2 years in prison by Chief Judge Brelly Yuniar Dien Wardi Haskori. The three are Blueray Cargo executive John Field, Blueray Cargo Operations Manager Deddy Kurniawan Sukolo, and Blueray Cargo document team head Andri. “They have been legally and convincingly proven guilty of jointly participating in a continuing criminal act of corruption as charged in the primary indictment,” Brelly stated during the verdict reading at the Corruption Court in Central Jakarta on Friday, 10 July 2026. The three defendants were proven to have given Rp 61.7 billion in cash to Customs officials, entertainment facilities worth Rp 1.4 billion, a Mazda CX-5 car worth Rp 330 million, and a TAG Heuer watch worth Rp 65 million. Brelly stated that defendant John Field also gave Rp 30 billion to Ahmad Dedi, also known as Dedi Congor, bringing the total amount of money given to Rp 91.7 billion. He explained the money was given with the aim of ensuring imported goods from Blueray Cargo could quickly pass customs inspection controls. “With total bonus costs from July 2025 to January 2026 amounting to Rp 91,769,073,000,” he said. Brelly explained that the payments had no effect for the defendants, as in reality, more of Blueray Cargo’s imported goods were being directed to the red channel. “The payment of money to Mr Ahmad Dedi had absolutely no effect on the problem of the increasing red channel for imported goods from PPJK Blueray,” Brelly said. The judge stated that John Field and his co-defendants were guilty of violating Article 605 paragraph 1 letter a of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article VII point 48 Article 605 letter a of Law Number 1 of 2026 concerning Criminal Adjustments in conjunction with Article 20 letter c in conjunction with Article 126 paragraph 1 of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. Brelly added that mitigating considerations for the sentence were that the defendants were forthcoming, confessed, expressed remorse, and pledged not to repeat their actions. Furthermore, the defendants had no prior convictions and have wives, children, and families who depend on them.
