JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned three state civil servants (ASN) in the environment of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise Semarang today. They will be questioned as witnesses in the case of bribery of the import of goods involving PT Blueray Cargo as a forwarder.

"The examination was carried out at the KPK's Merah Putih building," KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo told reporters in a written statement, Monday, May 25.

The three ASN from DJBC Semarang are Khanan, Budi Winanto, and Sutopo. In addition, investigators also scheduled a call for three entrepreneurs, namely Ign. Denny Narendra, Dana, and Aditya Rahman Ronny Putra.

Budi has not detailed the material for the summons that will be investigated by the investigators from the six witnesses. He only said that they were suspected of knowing the bribery case that was being investigated.

"The KPK has scheduled an examination of witnesses in the alleged corruption case related to customs and excise at the Directorate General of Customs (DJBC)," he said.

The KPK then stated that it had the opportunity to summon the Central Java-DI Yogyakarta Customs and Excise Office and Tanjung Emas Customs 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.

This opportunity is open because investigators need to confirm the findings in the field. 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.
