KPK detains five suspects in Bea Cukai counterfeit import corruption

Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has detained five out of six suspects in a bribery and gratification case involving the importation of counterfeit goods at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. One suspect, John Field, owner of PT Blueray Cargo, fled during the arrest. The detention lasts 20 days starting February 5, 2026.

Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) conducted a sting operation (OTT) on February 4, 2026, in Lampung and Jakarta, arresting 17 individuals linked to alleged bribery and gratification in handling counterfeit goods imports at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) under the Ministry of Finance.

On February 5, 2026, KPK named six suspects: Rizal (RZL), former Director of Enforcement and Investigation at DJBC from 2024 to January 2026; Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS), Head of the Subdirectorate of Enforcement and Investigation Intelligence at DJBC; Orlando Hamonangan (ORL), Head of the Intelligence Section at DJBC; John Field (JF), owner of PT Blueray Cargo; Andri (AND), Head of the Import Documents Team at PT Blueray Cargo; and Dedy Kurniawan (DK), Operational Manager at PT Blueray Cargo.

Suspects RZL, SIS, and ORL are accused of receiving bribes and gratifications, charged under Article 12 paragraphs a and b of Law No. 31 of 1999 as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001 on Eradication of Corruption Crimes, along with Articles 605 and 606 paragraph (2) of Law No. 1 of 2026 jo. Articles 20 and 21 of the Criminal Code (KUHP). Meanwhile, JF, AND, and DK are accused of giving bribes, charged under Article 605 paragraphs a and b, and Article 606 paragraph (1) of the KUHP.

On February 6, 2026, Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu announced the detention of five suspects—RZL, SIS, ORL, AND, and DK—at the KPK's Red and White Building Branch State Detention House for 20 days, from February 5 to 24, 2026. "KPK is detaining five suspects for the first 20 days from February 5-24, 2026," said Asep.

The remaining suspect, JF, has not been detained as he fled during the OTT. "The sixth one fled when our field team was about to conduct the sting operation; that's brother JF," explained Asep. The case highlights practices of altering inspection routes to allow counterfeit imports to pass unchecked.
