DOK BETWEEN

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will prepare a strategy to follow up on the facts that emerged in the hearing on alleged bribery of goods imports at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC).

This was conveyed by the Chairman of the KPK Setyo Budiyanto when asked about evidence at the trial which explained that there was an envelope with the code "Sales 2-1 DIR" which was allegedly referring to the Director General of Customs and Excise Djaka Budi Utama. The contents are said to have reached 213,600 Singapore dollars.

"The leadership will not precede because there will be a strategy later that will be carried out by the investigators. Moreover, this process is for the recipient to enter the examination process in the trial. That strategy will be reported later," said Setyo in Serang, Banten, Thursday, May 21.

Setyo emphasized that the investigation team would analyze the facts that emerged at the trial by matching them with the examination report at the investigation stage.

"It will definitely be processed by the Criminal Investigation Department and that is where the strategy will be reported on what the investigators will do," he said.

Meanwhile, when asked about the possibility of summoning Djaka, Setyo again said the decision was in the hands of investigators. "We leaders will not want to precede," he said.

"Because don't let it mix between the information that is developing, then with what you get at the stage of examination in the trial and at the examination in the investigation," continued Setyo, who had served as the Director of Investigation of the KPK.

During the trial at the Corruption Court yesterday, the KPK Prosecutor (JPU) displayed a photo of a coded envelope while examining the Head of the DJBC Intelligence Section, Orlando Hamonangan alias Ocoy, who was presented as a witness. Based on the evidence possessed by the prosecutor, the code "Sales 2-1 DIR" is said to refer to the quota for Djaka Budi Utama.

Djaka Budi's name previously appeared in the indictment letter for the alleged bribery case in the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) which ensnared the owner of Blueray Cargo, John Field.

Djaka was mentioned in a series of meetings between DJBC officials and cargo entrepreneurs before the alleged conditioning of the import route occurred. This was done secretly at the Borobudur Hotel, Central Jakarta, around July 2025.

"A meeting was held between officials at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, including Djaka Budi Utama, Rizal, Sisprian Subiaksono and Orlando Hamonangan Sianipar with cargo entrepreneurs," read the KPK prosecutor's indictment letter.
