JAKARTA - The handling of the alleged bribery that dragged the logistics company Blueray Cargo back into the spotlight. The Center for Budget Analysis (CBA) asked the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to investigate the matter thoroughly, including tracing alleged corruption practices in the Directorate General of Customs and Excise for the past 10 years.
CBA Director, Uchok Sky Khadafi, questioned the focus of the investigation which was considered to lead to the Director General of Customs and Excise, Djaka Budi Utama. According to him, Djaka had only served since May 23, 2025, while Blueray Cargo had been operating for decades.
"To be honest, the KPK must investigate 10 years back, not only when Djaka was in office. Why is it being sorted out? Even though Blueray Cargo has been around for decades," said Uchok, Saturday, July 4.
According to him, if the KPK wants to uncover the alleged practice of bribery in the customs environment in its entirety, the investigation should not only focus on Customs officials who are currently serving or Blueray Cargo.
He assessed that the flow of funds suspected to be related to the case must be thoroughly traced to all parties suspected of receiving profits without distinguishing institutions or backgrounds.
Uchok also touched on the contents of the Examination Report (BAP) of Hartanto, an employee of Blueray Cargo, who was said to have admitted to handing over a number of money at the order of John Field as the head of Blueray Cargo to a number of law enforcement officials.
According to Uchok, this confession should be the entrance for the KPK to expand the investigation into all parties suspected of receiving the flow of funds.
"CBA encourages the KPK to dismantle the entire network of bribe recipients, not just some parties. Law enforcement must be carried out in its entirety so as not to give the impression of selectivity," he said.
CBA will also continue to monitor the case through various public discussion forums so that the construction of the alleged bribery case of Blueray Cargo can be revealed openly.
Responding to the statement of Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa who revealed that President Prabowo Subianto had considered dissolving the Directorate General of Customs and Excise if he was unable to carry out reforms, Uchok assessed that the step should be preceded by disclosure of alleged irregularities that have occurred for years.
According to him, the evaluation of the Customs institution is unfair if it only highlights the leadership that has only been running for about a year.
*" If you want to dissolve the Customs, check the officials and the Directors General before Djaka Budi Utama, 10 years back. Don't just focus on officials who have only been in office for about a year, while the alleged practices that are being investigated are said to have taken place much earlier. The effect of the KPK is a snare for the army, old and young chocolate is protected? "said Uchok.
He added that the disclosure of alleged corruption and bribery in the customs environment must be carried out comprehensively so as not to create the perception of different treatment in law enforcement. According to him, all policies, supervision processes, to officials who have held strategic responsibilities in the last decade need to be examined.
