JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the customs entrepreneur, Heri Setiyono, missed the investigator's call on Friday, May 8. He should have been examined as a witness in the case of bribery of the import of goods in the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.
"The person concerned was not present," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters quoted on Saturday, May 9.
Budi said there was no confirmation given by Heri. So, investigators will consider follow-up in the future.
"Of course, later the investigators will consider the next step," he said.
"Whether it will be rescheduled, coordinated or then a second call letter will be issued. We will wait for the development," continued Budi.
In this case, the KPK is also planning to call other witnesses. They are Ahmad Dedi, who is a former official at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, and Hanapi Arbi and Hari Tommy Tanadi as private employees.
After examining Ahmad Dedi, Budi said, investigators suspected that there was a receipt of money from the importer. Investigators will continue to investigate the allegations.
"Investigators today summoned a number of witnesses, including AD's brother, where investigators investigated the alleged receipt from PT BR," said Budi.
The money received by Ahmad Dedi is suspected to be related to the management of the import of goods or the management of import duties. However, the amount has not been reported.
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, Budiman Bayu was then 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).
