JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has arrested Budiman Bayu Prasojo, an official from the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC). Here is the timeline of events.
The KPK Spokesperson, Budi Prasetyo, stated that Budiman was arrested at the DJBC headquarters in Jakarta at 4:00 PM local time.
“BBP (Budiman Bayu Prasojo) was arrested at the headquarters of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise in Jakarta. The arrest took place around four o’clock in the afternoon,” said Budi at the Merah Putih Building, Jakarta, on Thursday (February 26, 2026).
“BBP is suspected of violating the provisions of Article 12B regarding bribery or gratification, in conjunction with Article 20, paragraph C, of the new Criminal Code,” he added.
“Furthermore, after investigating the witnesses and gathering information, we determined the source of the funds and their intended use. As a result, the KPK has named BBP (Budiman Bayu Prasojo) as a new suspect in this case,” he said.
In this case, the KPK has named six suspects, including the Director of Investigation and Enforcement of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (P2 DJBC) for the period 2024-2026, Rizal; the Head of the Intelligence Sub-Directorate of P2 DJBC, Sisprian Subiaksono; and the Head of the Intelligence Section of DJBC, Orlando Hamonangan.
Additionally, the suspects include the Owner of PT Blueray, John Field; the Head of the Import Document Team of PT Blueray, Andri; and the Operational Manager of PT Blueray, Dedy Kurniawan.
Asep stated that John Field wanted the counterfeit goods imported by his company, PT Blueray, to not be inspected upon entry into Indonesia.
“PT BR wanted the goods under its control, which were imported from abroad, to not be subject to inspection. This would allow them to pass through customs inspections easily and smoothly,” said Asep during a press conference on Thursday evening (February 5, 2026).
Asep stated that the conspiracy between PT Blueray and several individuals at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise began in October 2025.
From the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, the individuals involved were Sisprian Subiaksono, as the Head of the Intelligence Sub-Directorate of P2 DJBC, and Orlando Hamonangan, as the Head of the Intelligence Section of DJBC.
From PT Blueray, the individuals involved were John Field, as the owner of PT Blueray, Andri from the import document team of PT Blueray, and Dedy Kurniawan, as the Operational Manager of PT Blueray.
“A conspiracy occurred between ORL, SIS, and other individuals with JF, AND, and DK to plan the import route for goods entering Indonesia,” explained Asep.
For their actions, Rizal, Sisprian Subiaksono, and Orlando Hamonangan, as the recipients, are suspected of violating Article 12, paragraphs a and b, of Law No. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2021, as well as Articles 605, paragraph 2, and 606, paragraph 2, in conjunction with Articles 20 and 21 of Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code.
The three are also suspected of violating Article 12 B of Law No. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2021 in conjunction with Articles 20 and 21 of Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code.
