Former Customs Intelligence Head Orlando Hamonangan Sentenced to 6 Years in Prison

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Central Jakarta Corruption Court has sentenced former Head of the Customs Intelligence Division, Orlando Hamonangan, to six years in prison for corruption involving bribery and gratuity within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC).

"The defendant is sentenced to six years in prison and a fine of Rp 1 billion," said Chief Judge Brelly Yuniar Dien Wardi Haskori while reading the verdict at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court on Thursday (12/11/2026).

If the fine is not paid, it will be replaced by 190 days of imprisonment.

The court also imposed an additional penalty of Rp 5.56 billion in restitution.

If Orlando fails to pay the restitution within one month after the decision becomes final, his assets may be seized and auctioned by the prosecutor to cover the obligation.

If Orlando's assets are insufficient to cover the restitution, he will face an additional year in prison.

The sentence is lighter than the prosecutors' demand, which was 7.5 years in prison, a fine of Rp 1 billion, and repayment of Rp 5.56 billion.

In its consideration, the court stated that Orlando's actions contradict government efforts to combat domestic crime.

Such actions were also deemed to undermine public trust in the Directorate General of Customs and Excise specifically and the Ministry of Finance in general.

Several mitigating factors taken into account include Orlando's lack of prior convictions, his admission of guilt and remorse, his long service to the state as a civil servant for decades, and his achievements.

"The defendant admits his actions and expresses remorse," the judge stated.

The court also noted that Orlando has a wife, children, and family who rely on him.

In its decision, the court found Orlando guilty beyond reasonable doubt of committing corruption as stated in the first and second charges.

The time Orlando has already spent in detention will be deducted from the sentence imposed.

In this case, Orlando, along with former Subdirector of Customs Intelligence and former Director of Enforcement and Investigation (P2) Rizal, was charged with accepting bribes totaling Rp 63,589,818,515, comprising cash amounting to Rp 61,743,597,000 and entertainment facilities and luxury goods worth Rp 1,846,221,515.

Specifically, Rizal is alleged to have received approximately Rp 14 billion, Sisprian around Rp 7 billion, while Orlando received about Rp 4.05 billion plus entertainment and luxury goods worth Rp 1.51 billion.

According to prosecutors, these bribes were reportedly given by the head of Blueray Cargo Group to expedite the customs clearance of imported goods owned by Blueray Cargo Group.

In addition, Sisprian and his associates are also charged with receiving gratuities totaling Rp 78.8 billion in both rupiah and foreign currencies from various importing entrepreneurs, tobacco business owners, and others whose business activities are linked to the Enforcement and Investigation Directorate of DJBC.

Apart from these joint charges, Orlando Hamonangan is also separately charged with receiving gratuities amounting to Rp 8.1 billion related to customs matters from various importing entrepreneurs.
