JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is currently investigating the record of the flow of money for the import of goods in the Directorate General of Customs and Excise of the Ministry of Finance. The process will be based on the findings at the house of Heri Setiyono who is a customs entrepreneur from Semarang, Central Java.
KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said investigators found records of the flow of imported bribes when they searched a number of locations in Semarang, Central Java.
"There is an allegation of a gift from HS's brother to an individual at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise," Budi said at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, quoted Wednesday, May 20.
The investigator is also said to be investigating a number of parties at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise for allegedly receiving import bribes from Heri Setiyono. The goal, said Budi, is to confirm the alleged flow of bribe money that has records.
"Of course, this also needs confirmation from the Directorate General of Customs and Excise regarding the record," he said.
The KPK is known to have examined Heri in the investigation of the import bribery case on Monday, May 18. He then denied the routine deposit that was allegedly flowing to the Deputy Head of the Directorate General of Customs Ahmad Dedi alias Dedi Congor.
Heri was also silent when asked about the search of a container suspected to belong to a party affiliated with PT Blueray Cargo at Tanjung Emas Port, Semarang, Central Java.
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, he is 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).
