KPK Reveals Rp5 Million in a Suitcase Related to the Importation Case of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise Found in a Safe House

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has again found a safe house or safe house used to accommodate money related to alleged bribes and gratuities related to the import of goods at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.

This was conveyed by KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo when asked about the location of the discovery of Rp5 billion in five suitcases when investigators searched a location in the Ciputat area, South Tangerang on Friday, February 13. This safe house is different from the findings during the hand-in-hand operation (OTT) on February 4.

"The money in the suitcase that was secured when the investigators carried out the search was in the safe house," Budi told VOI, Wednesday, February 18.

Even so, Budi has not explained in detail regarding the ownership of the safe house. Likewise with the allocation of the found money.

He only said that the deepening would be carried out during the investigation process. "Investigators will certainly investigate the findings of 5 suitcases containing the money," he said.

"This also includes the use of safe houses, as in the series of events where they were caught red-handed the previous week," he continued.

The anti-corruption commission found evidence worth Rp. 40.5 billion in a number of safe houses when it held a silent operation in early February. There are several apartment units in the North Jakarta area that were later known to be used to store 'bribes' related to imports at the Directorate General of Customs.

The details of the evidence found are as follows:

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.

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) as Head of the Subdirectorate of Intelligence, Enforcement and Investigation of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (Kasubdit Intel P2 DJBC); Orlando Hamonangan (ORL) as Head of the Intelligence Section of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (Kasi Intel DJBC); John Field (JF) as owner of PT Blueray (BR); Andri as Head of the Import Documents Team of PT BR; and Dedy Kurniawan as Operational 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
