Prison Sentences for 3 Former Customs Officials Receiving Billions in Bribery-Gratuities

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The Corruption Court in Central Jakarta has sentenced three former officials of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) to prison for corruption involving bribery and gratuities.

Rizal, the former Director of Enforcement and Investigation, received a nine-year prison term; Sisprian Subiaksono, the former Head of the Intelligence Sub-Directorate, was sentenced to seven years; and Orlando Hamonangan, the former Head of Customs Intelligence Section I within the Enforcement and Investigation Directorate, received a six-year prison sentence.

In addition to their prison sentences, all three are required to pay compensation totaling billions of rupiah and foreign currency.

Among the three defendants, Rizal received the heaviest sentence of nine years in prison, a fine of Rp 1 billion, and must pay restitution of Rp 15.7 billion.

"We hereby sentence the defendant to nine years in prison and a fine of Rp 1 billion," stated Chief Judge Brelly Yuniar Dien Wardi Haskori while reading the verdict in the Corruption Court in Central Jakarta on Thursday (12/11/2026).

If the restitution is not paid within one month following the final ruling, the prosecutor may seize and auction Rizal's assets.

If that sum is still insufficient, Rizal will face an additional two-year prison term.

Meanwhile, Sisprian Subiaksono was sentenced to seven years in prison and a fine of Rp 1 billion, with an alternative of 190 days in jail.

The judges also ordered him to pay additional restitution of Rp 7.4 billion, 150,000 Singapore dollars, and 10,000 US dollars.

If he fails to pay, Sisprian's assets may also be seized and auctioned by the prosecutor.

Should those funds still be inadequate, he faces an additional two-year prison sentence.

Orlando Hamonangan was sentenced to six years in prison, a fine of Rp 1 billion, and ordered to pay restitution of Rp 5.56 billion.

If he does not pay the fine, Orlando will serve an additional 190 days in prison.

Moreover, if the restitution is unpaid and his assets are insufficient, he will face an extra year in jail.

This sentence is lighter than the prosecutor’s demand, which was for seven years and six months in prison, a Rp 1 billion fine, and Rp 5.56 billion in restitution.

In response to the ruling, all three former Customs officials indicated they are considering an appeal.

Originating from Bribery in Import Procedures for Blueray

This case originated from bribes given by the leadership of Blueray Cargo Group to several Customs officials.

The three former officials were charged with receiving bribes totaling Rp 63.58 billion, which included Rp 61.74 billion in cash and luxury goods valued at Rp 1.84 billion.

Specifically, Rizal allegedly received approximately Rp 14 billion, Sisprian around Rp 7 billion, while Orlando received about Rp 4.05 billion along with luxury goods and entertainment valued at Rp 1.51 billion.

According to the prosecutors, this money and luxury goods were given to expedite the release of Blueray Cargo Group's imported goods during customs inspections.

Additionally, Rizal and others allegedly received gratuities amounting to Rp 78.8 billion from various importers and other businesses related to DJBC.

Orlando, in particular, was also charged with receiving separate gratuities totaling Rp 8.1 billion from several importers involved in customs matters.

Three Blueray Executives Previously Convicted

Earlier, the judges sentenced three executives from Blueray Cargo Group involved in the bribery case.

John Field, the head of Blueray Cargo Group, was sentenced to two years in prison and fined Rp 300 million.

Meanwhile, Dedy Kurniawan Sukolo and Andri were each sentenced to one year and six months in prison along with a fine of Rp 200 million.

The judges found all three guilty of collaboratively committing acts of corruption through bribing several DJBC officials.

The verdict for John Field, Dedy, and Andri was delivered on Friday (10/7/2026). John Field accepted the verdict and did not appeal.
