KPK Investigates Customs Entrepreneur Heri Setiyono Today in the Customs Import Bribery Case 

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the customs entrepreneur, Heri Setiyono, was being examined by investigators today. He was questioned as a witness in the case of bribery of the import of goods at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise involving PT Blueray Cargo as a forwarder.

"The witness arrived at the KPK Red and White building at 09.05 WIB. The person concerned was immediately examined by investigators," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters through his written statement, Monday, May 18.

Budi said the examination of Heri Setiyono as the boss of PT Putra Srikaton Logistics (PSL) was a rescheduling. He had been summoned on May 8 but did not attend.

Budi has not detailed the material that will be investigated by investigators in this examination. But, in his previous statement, he had said that investigators would investigate several things including the findings obtained from the search that had been carried out.

Last week, the KPK was known to have searched Heri Setiyono's house. From there, documents related to the case under investigation and electronic evidence were found.

From the electronic evidence, there was also an indication of intervening in the case with external parties.

In addition, investigators also seized one container containing vehicle parts at the Tanjung Emas Port, Semarang, Central Java. The owner has not been named by the KPK but there are suspicions related to PT Blueray Cargo.

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. The announcement was made after the arrest was made at the DJBC headquarters in East Jakarta on Thursday, February 26.

Budiman was arrested for allegedly receiving and managing money from entrepreneurs whose products were subject to taxes and importers since November 2024.

As a result of his actions, Budiman Bayu was then suspected of violating Article 12 B of Law No. 31 of 1999 jo. UU No. 20 of 2001 jo. Article 20 letter c of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (KUHP).
