JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that former Director General of Customs and Excise Ahmad Dedi received money related to the import of goods. Investigators are said to continue to investigate the allegations.
This was conveyed by KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo when asked about the examination of Ahmad Dedi as a witness today. The request for information was made at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.
"Investigators today summoned a number of witnesses, including AD's brother, where investigators investigated the alleged receipt from PT BR," Budi told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, May 8.
Budi said the alleged receipt of money made by Ahmad Dedi was related to the management of the import of goods or the management of import duties. "Of course this will also continue to be investigated by investigators," he said.
"Including later from the facts that emerge in the trial will also be examined by the JPU which will later integrate information and information both from the trial and from facts or information obtained from witnesses."
Meanwhile, Ahmad Dedi chose to run after being examined as a witness to the case of bribery in the import of goods. From field observation, Ahmad Dedi left the KPK office at 15.43 WIB.
Dedi also avoided reporters when he left the KPK office at around 11.35 WIB. He claimed that it was not Dedi who was the former head of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.
"What the hell, no, no," said Dedi, smiling and trying to cover his face.
Reported by a number of reports, Ahmad Dedi's name emerged in the alleged flow of money from importer entrepreneurs in 2017. The Ministry of Finance at that time was investigating the suspected ownership of a suspicious account belonging to the Head of Customs and Excise of the East Java II Customs and Excise Directorate General Office Ahmad Dedi.
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.
