It was revealed at the hearing that BPOM and the Ministry of Trade were suspected of receiving money from Blueray Cargo.

JAKARTA - The Public Prosecutor (JPU) at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that the flow of fee money from Blueray Cargo was not only enjoyed by a number of officials of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. Money was also given to parties in the environment of the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) and the Ministry of Trade (Kemendag).

This is when the prosecutor read out the legal analysis in the letter of demand against John Field, Dedy Kurniawan, and Andri at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court, Monday, June 22.

"As we have revealed in the trial, one of them to BPOM and the Ministry of Trade," said the prosecutor.

The prosecutor said the money given to a number of parties was not the official operating costs of the company such as employee salaries or bonuses. "Instead, the monthly fee allowance given to certain parties related to the import services of Blueray Cargo."

In his demand, the prosecutor also emphasized that the practice of giving money did not happen once. Based on John Field's confession, the gift was made regularly.

"Defendant 1 (John Field) has admitted that the money was not the first gift and was routinely given," said the prosecutor.

In addition to uncovering the alleged flow of money to BPOM and the Ministry of Trade, the prosecutor also strengthened the allegation of receiving Rp30 billion by the former Head of the Customs and Excise Supervisory and Service Office (KPPBC) Marunda Ahmad Dedi alias Dedi Congor.

In the analysis of the demands, it was stated that Blueray Cargo allegedly allocated a fee of IDR 5 billion per month using the Singapore dollar currency recorded in the company's financial statements with the code "Sales 2".

"Bluray cargo also gave money to other parties, namely to Ahmad Dedi alias Ded Congor, with a total of Rp30 billion, with a value of Rp5 billion per month using Singapore Dollar currency, based on the testimony of defendant 1 (John Field), the money given to Ahmad Dedi was included in the financial report of the gift for the Customs with the code 'Sales 2'," said the prosecutor.

The prosecutor believes that the money has been received by Ahmad Dedi. This belief is based on the testimony of witnesses, documents, and other evidence presented during the trial process.

The alleged flow of funds to BPOM and the Ministry of Trade also emerged in the defendant's examination hearing on June 12 when the prosecutor read the Examination Report (BAP) of Andri.

In the BAP, Andri admitted that there was a transfer of money to a number of parties outside the Customs on the order of John Field.

"That on the orders of John Field, there was a sum of money given to other parties other than those at the Customs for those at the BPOM, the Indonesian Food and Drug Supervisory Agency, and the Indonesian Ministry of Trade," said KPK Prosecutor Takdir Suhan when reading the BAP.

"True," replied Andri.

For BPOM, the money was said to be handed directly to a deputy and director who in the BAP were named Tubagus and Partomo.

"That the gift to the BPOM was intended for the Deputy Tubagus who had just been conveyed by Mr. Andri and the Director of Partomo. I handed the money directly to the person concerned," said Prosecutor Takdir.

Andri admitted that he did not know the amount of money given because it was packaged in an envelope before being handed over.

"I don't remember how many times I handed over the money, but as far as I remember there was more than once in 2025. I don't know the amount because it was packaged and taken from Brother Andreas Budi Santoso'," said Prosecutor Takdir reading the BAP.

"True," replied Andri.

Meanwhile, for the Ministry of Trade, in the BAP there are four names suspected of receiving money, namely Aldison, Ronald, Rangga, and Michael.

"It is addressed to 4 people but I don't know their positions. All I know is that his name is Aldison, Ronald, Rangga, Michael. I handed the money directly to the person concerned," said Andri in the BAP read by the prosecutor.

As previously reported, the KPK prosecutor demanded Blueray Cargo boss, John Field, a three-year prison sentence. The demand was made because he was found guilty of allegedly giving bribes to a number of officials at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise regarding the import of goods.

In addition, John Field was also ordered to pay a fine of IDR 300 million in lieu of a substitute imprisonment of 100 days.

Meanwhile, for the other two Blueray Cargo executives, namely Dedi Kurniawan Sukolo and Andri, they were sentenced to two years and six months and a fine of Rp. 200 million each, in lieu of 80 days of imprisonment.

The prosecutor said that the three defendants were proven to be legally and convincingly guilty of committing corruption as in the first indictment, violating Article 605 Paragraph (1) letter a of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code and other provisions.

The aggravating thing is that the three of them do not support the government's program in realizing a government that is free from corruption, collusion, and nepotism. Their actions are also considered to have damaged the image of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia.

Meanwhile, what is mitigating is that the three defendants were polite in the trial and were never convicted.
