JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that there has been an attempt to hinder the alleged bribery of the import of goods at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.
This finding was obtained after investigators searched the house of a customs entrepreneur, Heri Setiyono in the Semarang area, Central Java, Tuesday, May 12.
KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said that from the search at Heri Setiyono's house, which was said to be affiliated with Blueray Cargo, a number of evidence was found. Among them are evidence of documents and electronic evidence.
"From the barbuk that was secured and confiscated, the investigators received information about attempts to hinder the investigation of this case," said Budi through his written statement, Wednesday, May 13.
This effort to hinder it is carried out by conditioning external parties. But, Budi did not detail the conditioning efforts.
He only emphasized that this finding was a concern for the KPK. "That there is information obtained in the form of conditioning-conditioning efforts from external parties in the process of handling cases related to customs and excise at the KPK," he said.
"This can be seen or fall into the category of efforts to obstruct investigations, both directly and indirectly. Investigators will certainly consider whether these acts fall within the scope of obstruction of investigation or not," said Budi.
Heri Setiyono has been summoned for questioning on Friday, May 8. However, the boss of PT Putra Srikaton Logistics (PSL) did not attend without confirming the investigators.
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.
