LPKAN Soroti Penanganan Kasus Blueray Cargo, Desak KPK Bongkar Mata Rantai Dugaan Suap

JAKARTA - The State Apparatus Performance Supervisory Agency (LPKAN) asked the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to thoroughly investigate the alleged flow of funds in the case of alleged import bribes at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) which dragged the owner of PT Blueray Cargo and a number of forwarder companies.

According to LPKAN, the investigation needs to trace the entire chain of events, including the alleged transaction to the personal account of the customs entrepreneur with the initials HS.

The General Chair of LPKAN, Mohammad Ali, assessed that the case currently rolling at the Corruption Crime Court (Tipikor) Central Jakarta should be a gateway to uncover the alleged business ecosystem involving informal channels, deposit accounts, conditioning imported goods, to possible obstacles to the investigation.

Ali said, based on company documents, HS was known as the Director, majority shareholder, and beneficial owner of a company. Meanwhile, the bank statement that was said to have been seized by investigators since the beginning of the hand-in-hand operation (OTT) showed repeated transactions in large amounts related to HS's name.

According to him, if it is true that the account has become part of the evidence of the investigation, then the flow of funds to HS's personal account should be one of the main focuses of the investigators' investigation.

"Moreover, Heri is said to claim that his relationship with Blueray is limited to a business relationship. The claim is certainly legitimate to be conveyed. But in criminal procedure law, witness testimony is not the only truth. The testimony must be tested with other evidence, such as newspaper accounts, company documents, contracts, invoices, proof of work, customs documents, records of communications, and testimony from other witnesses," said Ali in Jakarta, Thursday, July 2, 2026.

Ali explained that if the relationship is indeed a business relationship, there should be clear transaction grounds, such as a cooperation contract, bills, proof of work, tax records, to company bookkeeping. In addition, payments are usually made through the company's account.

However, if the payment is actually made repeatedly to a personal account, according to him, this needs to be further tested in the investigation process to find out the legal basis and purpose of the transaction.

LPKAN also highlighted the KPK's steps, which had previously searched HS's house in Semarang, examined a number of documents, and conducted an inspection of containers at Tanjung Emas Port. In addition, investigators have also asked HS staff for information regarding the alleged collection of information that allegedly led to efforts to hinder the investigation.

According to Ali, the series of actions showed that Heri Black's position had become part of the attention of investigators.

"This means that the KPK itself has placed Heri Black not only as a marginal party. He has been on the radar of the investigation, both in the context of the findings of the search, containers, and alleged obstruction of the investigation," he said.

He explained that, in the perspective of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), searches and seizures are pro-justitia actions carried out because investigators assess that there are goods, documents, or traces of events that are relevant to proving a case.

Therefore, according to him, the entire series of investigations should be directed to answer the extent of the alleged involvement of related parties in the main case, including the possibility of knowing, helping, enjoying the results, and hindering the investigation process.

Ali also reminded that the alleged obstruction of investigation as regulated in Article 21 of the Corruption Eradication Law is not only interpreted as a physical act of obstructing investigators, but also includes any act that is suspected of hindering or thwarting the law enforcement process.

In addition, he assessed that the investigation also needed to test the possibility of a link between the flow of funds and the alleged criminal act of bribery or gratification in the import process.

"This is where the public should make a reasonable criticism. Don't let the KPK be very sharp in reading the alleged obstruction of the investigation, but less sharp in reading the flow of money which can explain the motives, relationships, and positions of the parties in the main case," he said.

According to Ali, the flow of funds is one of the important tools in proving corruption cases because it can describe the relationship between parties, the time of the transaction, the value of the transaction, and test whether the transaction has a legitimate business basis.

Therefore, if there is a party who states that they do not have a legal connection with the Blueray Cargo case, the most appropriate proof is to open all supporting documents for the transaction, ranging from contracts, invoices, work evidence, import documents, bookkeeping, tax reporting, to cash flows on personal accounts and company accounts.

"On the other hand, if there is no adequate business basis, then the flow of money into the personal account is a fact that should be developed by the KPK. Not to judge first, but to ensure that the Blueray case does not stop at the surface layer," said Ali.
