JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) officially 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.
"Based on the adequacy of evidence, on Thursday, February 26, 2026, the KPK then named BBP as a suspect," said Deputy Head of the KPK's Enforcement and Execution Department, Asep Guntur Rahayu, to reporters at a press conference at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, February 27.
Budiman was arrested for allegedly receiving and managing money from entrepreneurs whose products were subject to taxes and importers since November 2024.
He carried out his actions with Sisprian Subiaksono as Head of the Sub Directorate of Intelligence, Enforcement and Investigation of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (Kasubdit Intel P2 DJBC) who had previously been named a suspect in the case of bribery and gratification of import of goods.
As the manager, said Asep, was Salisa Asmoaji who was an employee of the Directorate of Enforcement and Investigation (P2) of the Customs and Excise Service. "The money collected and managed by SA is stored in an apartment located in Central Jakarta as a safe house that has been rented by SA since mid-2024, at the direct direction of BBP and SIS," he said.
During the course of this case, Salisa also received an order from Budiman Bayu to clean the safe house in Central Jakarta. The order was given after the KPK carried out a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) on February 4.
Upon receiving this order, Salisa then cleaned up and moved the money in five suitcases that were eventually found by investigators while searching a location in Ciputat, South Tangerang.
"Based on these facts, the investigators concluded that BBP and SIS together or participated in the crime of corruption in the acceptance of gratification as civil servants or state organizers, including receiving gifts directly related to the position and contrary to their obligations in the period 2024-2026," said Asep.
The KPK then detained Budiman Bayu at the Red and White Building Branch of the KPK State Detention House (Rutan) for the first 20 days. However, he did not give any statement after undergoing an examination.
Budiman Bayu chose to rush into the prisoner's car while covering his face with his hands.
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).
