KPK Examines Former Head of Customs Intelligence as Witness in Import Corruption Case

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) interrogated former Head of the Intelligence Section of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise Orlando Hamonangan as a witness regarding the development of a corruption case related to the importation of goods within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

"The interrogation took place at the KPK's Red and White Building," said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in a statement on Wednesday.

However, Budi did not disclose the specific details that would be investigated during the questioning.

Orlando is currently a defendant in a bribery and gratuity case within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise of the Ministry of Finance.

He is facing a sentence of 7.5 years in prison and a fine of IDR 1 billion, or 190 days in prison in lieu of the fine.

"The court sentenced the defendant Orlando Hamonangan to 7 years and 6 months in prison and a fine amounting to IDR 1 billion, with a substitute sentence of 190 days in prison," the prosecutor stated while reading the indictment in the Corruption Crimes Court (Tipikor) at the Central Jakarta District Court on Friday (16/10/2026).

The prosecutor also requested that the judges impose an additional penalty requiring Orlando to pay restitution of IDR 5.56 billion.

"The defendant Orlando Hamonangan is additionally sentenced to pay restitution of IDR 5,566,221,515," the prosecutor said.

The prosecutor emphasized that the restitution must be paid no later than one month after the court decision becomes legally binding.

If Orlando fails to pay the restitution within the timeframe, the prosecutor will seize and auction off his assets to cover the obligation.

"If the defendant or convict does not have sufficient assets to pay the restitution, he will face an additional prison sentence of 1 year," the prosecutor noted.

In the indictment, the public prosecutor stated that Orlando was proven beyond a reasonable doubt to have received approximately IDR 4.05 billion along with entertainment facilities and luxury goods valued at IDR 1.51 billion.

This provision was allegedly aimed at expediting the clearance process for imported goods belonging to Blueray Cargo Group in customs checks at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.

Orlando, along with two other Customs officials, Rizal and Sisprian Subiaksono, is also facing charges.

In addition to bribery, Rizal, Sisprian, and Orlando are also charged with accepting gratuities from several import entrepreneurs, tobacco business owners, and other parties totaling IDR 78.8 billion.

Orlando is also separately charged with receiving gratuities related to customs matters from several import entrepreneurs.

The prosecutor stated that the gratuities received by Orlando amounted to IDR 8,104,511,500, which consisted of IDR 2,290,000,000, 195,000 Singapore dollars equivalent to IDR 2,711,455,500 (exchange rate IDR 13,900), and 172,800 US dollars equivalent to IDR 3,103,056,000 (exchange rate IDR 17,960).
