DOK BETWEEN

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined the owner of a money changer, Deisy Syam, as a witness in the import bribery case at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise on Thursday, May 21.

Deisy Syam was questioned about the exchange of money made by one of the suspects, namely Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS) as Head of the Sub Directorate of Intelligence, Enforcement and Investigation of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (Kasubdit Intel P2 DJBC).

"In this examination, the witness as the owner of the money changer, was investigated by the investigators regarding the alleged exchange of foreign exchange by the suspect SIS party," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters through his written statement, Friday, May 22.

Budi has not detailed how much money Sisprian is suspected of exchanging in this case. However, investigators are certain that they will continue to deepen.

The KPK suspects that a certain amount of money has flowed into the hands of officials at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. This suspicion is strengthened by the discovery of money records found during the search of the house of a customs entrepreneur, Heri Setiyono in Semarang, Central Java some time ago.

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).
