JAKARTA - The emergence of Ahmad Dedi's name in the trial of PT Blueray Cargo boss John Field at the Corruption Court, Jakarta, confirms that the Ministry of Finance's Directorate General of Customs and Excise Deputy Director of Customs and Excise, the employee allegedly received a bribe of Rp. 30 billion for 6 months.
The prosecutor from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) M. Takdir initially showed evidence of a chat between John Field and witness Vini Liverie Vi, an employee of Blueray Cargo.
"Ko John, this is Pak D 5 billion fix 13,500". Really, Ma'am, yes?" the prosecutor asked during the hearing on Wednesday night, May 20, 2026. The prosecutor's question was justified by Vini even though he did not know the real figure of the initials D referring to who.
The KPK prosecutor then asked the same thing to witness Indra Setiawan Putra who was an employee of Blueray who recorded the money given to the Directorate General of Customs. Indra explained, the gift took place from July 2025 to January 2026.
"Total bonus costs from July 2025 to January 2026 Rp. 61,301,939,000?" asked the KPK prosecutor.
Indra answered again: "because when I first called, I only knew the total bonus was so much. After that, the second call, after discussing with Ms. Vini, I was told that there was a difference. There is an additional payment to other people every month. "
The KPK prosecutor asked again: "the one who just had the initials D Rp 5 billion per month? So Rp 5 billion times 6 months, Rp 30 billion?"
"Yes, it's true," replied Indra.
The KPK prosecutor then asked the witness Yohanes Setiawan as John Field's personal assistant to identify the initials D. "Well, then, what was mentioned earlier about the initials D. This, who did the witness meet, Ahmad Dedi?"
"Honestly, I never met him directly. The only one who met was Mr. John," replied Yohanes. The meeting took place at the AB Steak Senayan City restaurant.
The prosecutor asked again, "well, how did the witness know?"
"When I pay the bill, I ask 'who do you meet, Ko?'. 'Pak Dedi' like that," replied Yohanes.
