KPK Suspects John Field, PT Bluray Boss, Meeting a Witness While on the Run

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will trace the escape of John Field, owner of PT Bluray. This step was taken because there were suspicions that the businessman met witnesses or moved evidence while fleeing from a hand-in-hand operation (OTT).

"We will investigate it, yes, we will deepen it. ... What the person concerned and others did is one of the materials in the examination of the person concerned," said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu to reporters at the KPK Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, February 9.

Asep ensured that this suspicion would be investigated by John Field, who has now surrendered and been detained. "Yes, that is one of them that we are also investigating," he said.

"Earlier, it was (possible, ed) meeting with witnesses, maybe also related to the evidence that the concerned party has. That is what we are investigating at that time," continued Asep, who is also the Director of Investigation of the KPK.

John Field, owner of PT Blueray, surrendered to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Saturday morning, February 9. He had fled during a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) related to alleged bribes and gratuities related to the import of goods at the Directorate General (Ditjen) of Customs and Excise on Thursday, February 5.

As previously reported, the KPK announced six suspects related to alleged bribes and gratuities related to the import of goods at the Directorate General (Ditjen) of Customs and Excise. One of them is the Director of Enforcement and Investigation of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (P2 DJBC) for the period 2024-2026, Rizal.

In addition to Rizal, the KPK also named five other suspects. They are Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS), Head of the Sub Directorate of Intelligence, Enforcement and Investigation of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (Kasubdit Intel P2 DJBC); Orlando Hamonangan (ORL) Head of the Intelligence Section of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (Kasi Intel DJBC); John Field (JF), owner of PT Blueray (BR); Andri as Head of the Importation Documents Team of PT BR; and Dedy Kurniawan as Operations Manager of PT BR.

The KPK suspects that this case began in October 2025 when Orlando Hamonangan and Sisprian Subiaksono together with John Field, Andri, and Dedy Kurniawan committed a conspiracy. They arranged the planning of the import route of goods that would enter Indonesia.

This evil agreement is based on the Minister of Finance Regulation. In this policy there are two categories of lanes in the service and supervision of imported goods to determine the level of inspection before being issued from the customs area, namely the green lane which is the lane for the issuance of imported goods without inspection and the red lane with physical inspection of goods.

From this evil agreement, Orlando then ordered his men to adjust the parameters of the red line and follow it up by drafting a rule set at 70 percent.

This rule set was then sent by the Directorate of Enforcement and Investigation to the Directorate of Customs and Excise Information (IKC) to be included in the parameters of the goods inspection machine.

As a result of the conditioning, the goods carried by PT BR were allegedly not subject to a physical examination. So that the goods suspected of being counterfeit, KW, and illegal can enter Indonesia without being checked by Customs officers.

After the conditioning was completed, there was a transfer of money from PT BR to the parties in DJBC in the period December 2025 to February 2026 in a number of locations. The receipt is carried out regularly every month as a quota for the individuals in DJBC.

Meanwhile, in the silent operation, the KPK secured evidence worth Rp40.5 billion in detail:

1. Cash in the form of Rupiah amounting to IDR 1.89 billion; 2. Cash in the form of US Dollars amounting to USD 182,900; 3. Cash in the form of Singapore Dollars amounting to SGD 1.48 million; 4. Cash in the form of Japanese Yen amounting to JPY 550,000; 5. Precious metals weighing 2.5 Kg or equivalent to IDR 7.4 billion; 6. Precious metals weighing 2.8 Kg or equivalent to IDR 8.3 billion; 7. 1 luxury watch worth IDR 138 million.
