Traces of Customs Bribery Money Movement from Jakarta Safe House to Ciputat

The Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has uncovered traces of money movement conducted by employees of the Directorate General of Customs of the Ministry of Finance from one safe house to another in an alleged bribery and gratification case involving counterfeit goods imports.

This was revealed by the KPK’s Deputy for Prosecution and Enforcement Asep Guntur Rahayu during a press conference at KPK’s Red and White Building on Friday (27 February).

The money transfer was ordered by two suspects: Budiman Bayu Prasojo and Sisprian Subiaksono.

During the investigation, since November 2024, a staff member of the Directorate of Prosecution and Investigation (P2) of Customs and Excise, Salisa Asmoaji (SA), is suspected of receiving and managing money from businessmen whose products are subject to excise and importers on the orders of the two suspects Bayu and Sisprian.

The money collected and managed by Salisa was then stored in an apartment in central Jakarta as a ‘safe house’ which she had rented since mid-2024.

Then in early February 2026, Bayu ordered Salisa to clear the safe house located in central Jakarta and transfer the money to another safe house located in one of the apartments in the Ciputat area, South Tangerang.

Asep stated that KPK investigators then conducted searches at the two safe house locations and found cash totalling more than Rp5.19 billion stored in 5 suitcases.

The money, according to Asep, is suspected to have originated from alleged corruption offences related to the regulation of import channels (customs) and excise administration.

“The money collected and managed by SA is suspected to have been used as operational funds since Sisprian held the position of Head of Intelligence Subdivision,” said Asep.

In this case, the KPK has named seven people as suspects.

They are the former Director of Investigation & Prosecution of the Directorate General of Customs for the period 2024–January 2026, Rizal; Head of Intelligence Subdivision of Prosecution and Investigation at the Directorate General of Customs (Head of Intelligence Subdivision P2 DJBC) Sisprian Subiaksono.

Then the Head of Intelligence Section at the Directorate General of Customs (Head of Intelligence Section DJBC) Orlando; Head of PT BR Import Documentation Team Andri; Owner of PT Blueray named John Field; and Operations Manager of PT BR Dedy Kurniawan.

Meanwhile, Head of Excise Intelligence Section of the Prosecution and Investigation Directorate Budiman Bayu Prasojo was only arrested and named as a suspect on Thursday (26 February).

The suspects have been detained at the KPK State Detention Centre (Rutan).

For their actions, Rizal, Sisprian, and Orlando are charged with violating Article 12 letters a and b of the Law on Eradication of Corruption Offences (UU Tipikor) and Article 605 paragraph 2 and Article 606 paragraph 2 read with Articles 20 and 21 of the Criminal Code (KUHP).

They are also charged with violating Article 12 B of UU Tipikor read with Articles 20 and 21 of the KUHP.

Meanwhile, John Field, Andri, and Dedy Kurniawan as bribe-givers are charged with violating Article 605 paragraphs 1 a and b and Article 606 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.
