JAKARTA - The alleged bribery of goods imports in the Customs and Excise Directorate General (DJBC) is rolling at the Jakarta Corruption Court. But, the process is now highlighted because the name of the importer or forwarder other than PT Blueray Cargo that had appeared has not been entangled in the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
This was conveyed by Gautama Wiranegara as an analyst of counter-intelligence who said that the development of cases, especially those involving the names of a number of other importers, must be opened to the public. Explanation must be given in full.
Moreover, Gautama admitted that he had received information about a number of companies that were included in the targeting parameters other than Blueray Cargo. Among them are Fasdelli, Ali Medan, Nusa Fikry, to Harta Jaya.
"If it is true that the parameters are set not because of risk, but because of orders to maintain a certain number, then it needs to be further investigated because it has the potential to touch on the aspect of abuse of authority," Gautama said in his statement quoted on Sunday, May 31.
Gautama then highlighted why only Blueray Cargo was handled by the KPK. He suspected there were two reasons, such as the evidence possessed by the investigators was the strongest to lead to the forwarder or Blueray was indeed the gateway to handling other cases.
However, he asked for an immediate explanation to be given by the KPK so that there would be no polemics in the future. "If it is still under development, the public certainly hopes for an explanation about the progress so that there will be no speculation," he said.
Another possibility, continued Gautama, is that investigators have found indications of the involvement of other parties, but the available evidence is not enough to increase their legal status.
In the perspective of counterintelligence, Blueray can be seen as the main node of the distribution of funds that is most easily proven first. However, if the development of the case stops at only one company, it can raise questions.
"The longer only Blueray is processed while other names remain hanging, the public will certainly wonder," he said.
In addition, Gautama also highlighted the lack of calculation of state losses that are explicitly associated with the alleged manipulation of targeting parameters as appears in the BAP.
According to him, if the case is to be developed towards the alleged abuse of authority as stipulated in Article 2 or Article 3 of the Corruption Crime Law, then a forensic audit is needed to measure the impact of the state losses incurred.
"Without clear calculations, this case has the potential to stop at the construction of bribes and gratuities alone, while the wider alleged state losses have not been touched," he said.
Therefore, Gautama urged the KPK to provide a proportional explanation regarding the position of the names of other importers that appear in the BAP, including whether they are still in the stage of deepening, hampered by evidence, or will be developed into a separate case.
"The public will not mind if the investigators say that the evidence against the other party is not enough. The important thing is clarity. Don't let names be mentioned in the investigation process but then hang without certainty of legal status."
Meanwhile, the KPK opened the opportunity to investigate importers and other forwarders who are suspected of providing facilities to the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.
This was conveyed by KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo after investigators investigated the alleged provision of car facilities to the Directorate General of Customs and Excise officials in the import bribery case. He ensured that the allegations being investigated were not only related to PT Blueray Cargo as a forwarder.
"This matter has not stopped at this point. We will still investigate whether there are practices (similar to the same, red)," Budi told reporters quoted on Friday, May 29.
"Moreover, there is an allegation of providing facilities by importer entrepreneurs to parties at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise," he continued.
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).
