JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) seized money and one unit of a Mazda CX-5 car today. This coercive effort is related to the alleged bribery of the import of goods at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) which ensnared the Director of Enforcement and Investigation of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (P2DJBC) for the period 2024-2026, Rizal, along with a number of other suspects.
"Investigators have seized the parties concerned, in the form of a four-wheeled vehicle and cash worth 78 thousand Singapore dollars or equivalent to more than Rp1 billion," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters through his written statement, Monday, March 16.
Budi did not elaborate on where the money and car were found. He only emphasized that this seizure was a form of asset recovery for the state's finances.
"The seizure carried out by investigators is one of the progressive steps in the effort to recover assets later," he said.
Budi also said that this seizure was related to tracing the role of other parties in the import bribery case at DJBC.
"Investigators will continue to develop this case by tracing the role of other parties and tracking the flow of money from this alleged corruption crime," said Budi.
"Moreover, corruption in the customs sector not only degrades the potential for state revenue, but also has a negative impact on national competitiveness and the business climate, including for small and medium-sized business actors (SMEs) in Indonesia."
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).
