This was conveyed by KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo when confirmed regarding the summoning of a number of witnesses in this case, including office boys at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. According to him, the summons was to trace the disguise of receiving money.

"We are still continuing to delve into the use of nominees, yes, certain parties in the environment of the Directorate General of Insurance who are suspected of accommodating the receipt of money from private parties," Budi told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, quoted on Friday, April 10.

"We are still continuing to delve into the modus operandi of money storage," continued Budi.

The KPK previously 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.
