JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned two employees of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, Muhammad Firdaus and Umar Khayam as witnesses today. The two will be questioned regarding alleged bribes and gratuities that began with a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) some time ago.
"The examination was carried out at the KPK's Merah Putih building," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters through his written statement, Monday, April 6.
In addition to summoning two employees of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, the KPK also summoned Sri Hastuti Kumala Dewi as a witness. However, Budi has not detailed the material for the summons of the three of them.
Currently, the three witnesses have fulfilled the KPK's call. Sri Hastuti is said to have arrived at around 09.35 WIB.
Meanwhile, Umar Khayam arrived at around 09.43 WIB and Muhammad Firdaus had been at the KPK office since 09.51 WIB.
As for Instagram @bckanwilsulbagsel, Umar Khayam is said to have occupied the position of Head of the Investigation and BHP Section in 2020. He once talked about the crackdown on illegal cigarettes in Makassar.
The KPK previously suspected that there were cigarette manufacturers who gave bribes to the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) to circumvent taxes from the Java Island region. The findings were revealed after Budiman Bayu Prasojo as Head of the P2 Tax Intelligence Section of the DJBC was named a suspect and detained on Friday, February 27.
This determination is an expansion of the hand-in-hand operation (OTT) on February 4. At that time, six suspects were announced, one of which was the Director of Enforcement and Investigation of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (P2 DJBC) for the period 2024-2026, Rizal.
Then, it was also determined as a suspect, 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); 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.
"Currently, some of them are from Central Java and there are also East Java," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters at the KPK Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, March 2.
These cigarette entrepreneurs are suspected of buying tax tape at a lower rate in large quantities. In fact, there is a difference in tariffs for the results of manual home industry products and using machines.
