KPK Reveals Operational Car for Transporting Corruption Money Customs Not Just One

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has revealed that the operational car suspected of being related to alleged bribes and gratuities in the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) is not only one. The driver also changed so that it made it difficult for the hand-in-hand operation (OTT) which occurred on February 4.

This was conveyed by the Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, Asep Guntur Rahayu, when uncovering the existence of an operational car to transport money related to the case.

"That there is money stored in his operational car and it keeps changing," Asep said at a press conference at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, February 27.

In addition to the car, continued Asep, the driver who drove also kept changing to deceive. So, his subordinates in the field had difficulty because of limited numbers.

"The story is, how does the movement of money, the movement of changing cars, changing people, changing drivers. It goes on like that while our officers in the field are very limited," he said.

Asep also mentioned that this operational car was deliberately provided for various purposes such as transporting money from a safe house.

The car was also bought from bribes and gratuities that had been collected. "So they are complete, there are operational cars and others like that," said Asep, who also served as the KPK's Director of Investigation.

As previously reported, the KPK announced six suspects related to alleged bribes and gratuities related to the import of goods at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise after conducting a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) on February 4. 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.

Furthermore, the KPK announced the Head of the Tax Intelligence Section for Enforcement and Investigation (P2) of the Directorate General of Customs (DJBC) Budiman Bayu Prasojo (BBP) as a new suspect in the case of alleged gratification related to the import of goods.
