JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the flow of bribes and gratuities related to the import of goods at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise would continue to be investigated. The investigation will not stop after trapping Rizal as the Director of Enforcement and Investigation of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (P2 DJBC) for the period 2024-2026 and five other suspects.

Rizal is known to be a suspect after the anti-corruption commission held a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) on February 4.

"Investigators will investigate the alleged flow of money originating from or related to the alleged corruption in the import of goods at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to VOI, Wednesday, February 18.

Budi said the investigation would also look for other parties suspected of playing a role in the process of circumventing imports. The deepening will be carried out by conducting an examination to trace the findings of evidence in this case, including 5 suitcases containing Rp5 billion in various denominations of currency.

This finding was obtained after investigators searched a location in the Ciputat area, South Tangerang on Friday. The KPK later said that the place was a safe house or safe house to store money allegedly related to import management at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.

"Including whether there are other parties who also play a role in the modus of conditioning the entry route for this goods," he said.

As previously reported, the KPK announced six suspects related to alleged bribes and gratuities related to the import of goods at the Directorate General (Ditjen) of Customs and Excise. 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.

This evil agreement is based on the Minister of Finance Regulation. In this policy there are two categories of lanes in the service and supervision of imported goods to determine the level of inspection before being issued from the customs area, namely the green lane which is the lane for the issuance of imported goods without inspection and the red lane with physical inspection of goods.

From this evil agreement, Orlando then ordered his men to adjust the parameters of the red line and follow it up by drafting a rule set at 70 percent.

This rule set was then sent by the Directorate of Enforcement and Investigation to the Directorate of Customs and Excise Information (IKC) to be included in the parameters of the goods inspection machine.

As a result of the conditioning, the goods carried by PT BR were allegedly not subject to a physical examination. So that the goods suspected of being counterfeit, KW, and illegal can enter Indonesia without being checked by Customs officers.

After the conditioning was completed, there was a transfer of money from PT BR to the parties in DJBC in the period December 2025 to February 2026 in a number of locations. The receipt is carried out regularly every month as a quota for the individuals in DJBC.
