Investigations into alleged corruption within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise have led to legal actions against several individuals.

Ahmad Dedi, a former official, has been issued a travel ban by the Directorate General of Immigration following a request from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Dedi is a suspect in investigations involving alleged bribery related to import processing between 2025 and 2026. While legal counsel has denied claims that Dedi received 30 billion IDR in connection to cargo company executives, the ban is set to remain in effect until April 2027.

In related court proceedings, the KPK is considering summoning Member of Parliament Ahmad Dhani to testify. This follows testimony from a former customs official, Budiman Bayu Prasojo, who alleged that an individual identifying as Dhani requested assistance regarding the seizure of a relative’s goods. Dhani has acknowledged contacting officials but clarified the items were fragrances rather than standard imports. The decision to summon Dhani as a witness remains subject to judicial orders.
