KPK Finds Alleged Notes of Money Given to the Directorate General of Customs and Excise During the Search of Heri Setiyono's House

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) admitted that it had found records of money being given to the Directorate General of Customs and Excise when searching the house of businessman Heri Setiyono. This finding was said to have been confirmed by investigators when examining him as a witness on Monday, May 18.

"Investigators are investigating the findings in the search activities in Semarang, including records of the provision to the Directorate General of Customs and Excise," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters through his written statement quoted Tuesday, May 19.

In addition, investigators also investigated a container containing motorcycle parts that had been confiscated at the Tanjung Emas Port, Semarang, Central Java. Heri is suspected of knowing the origin of the goods that are suspected to be related to the forwarder PT Blueray Cargo.

"The witness was also confirmed about the discovery of containers during a search at the Tanjung Emas Port."

Meanwhile, Heri Setiyono after being examined admitted that he had given information to investigators. But, he denied having any connection with PT Blueray Cargo.

The boss of PT Putra Srikaton Logistics (PSL) had been summoned on May 8 but did not attend. Therefore, a rescheduling was carried out.

"I just attended the call. I am a law-abiding citizen, I just attended," he said after undergoing an examination at the anti-corruption commission's office.

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).
