JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has the opportunity to summon the Central Java-DI Yogyakarta and Tanjung Emas Customs and Excise Directorate General to investigate the alleged import bribes. The summons is likely to be carried out after investigators seized a container containing spare parts at the Tanjung Emas Port, Semarang.

"It is open to call (to make a call, ed)," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters at the KPK Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday night, May 13.

The summons, continued Budi, will be carried out according to the needs of investigators. Because, every finding of evidence will be confirmed to the party suspected of knowing.

"This means that if the investigators really need to get explanations, information from the Semarang Regional Directorate General of Customs and Excise, the investigators will also schedule it later," he said.

"Later we will see what the SOP and business process are like so that later we need to call the parties who can explain related to that."

The KPK is known to have searched a number of locations in Semarang, Central Java on Monday, May 11 and Tuesday, May 12. In the first search, investigators visited the house of a customs entrepreneur, Heri Setiyono.

From this forced effort, investigators then seized documents and electronic evidence. Through these items, it was also found that there was an attempt to condition external parties in the investigation process of the corruption case of imports.

Then, a day later, investigators seized one container from the Tanjung Emas Port. It is suspected that the goods in it in the form of vehicle parts were not reported to the customs for more than 30 days.

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).
