Indonesian Audit Agency Member Denies Facilitating Contact in Bribery Case

A member of Indonesia's Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), Nyoman Adhi Suryadnyana, has responded to court proceedings that mentioned his name in connection with a bribery case involving imported goods. Nyoman confirmed he knows businessman John Field, whose company is linked to the alleged bribery.

During a trial on June 12, 2026, prosecutors from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) questioned how John Field first encountered Rizal, a former director at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. Prosecutors presented evidence suggesting Nyoman Adhi Suryadnyana may have played a role in connecting them.

John Field testified that he obtained Rizal's number a long time ago and was unsure who introduced them. He recalled seeing "John Nyoman" written on Rizal's phone number, which led him to believe Nyoman was involved. Nyoman Adhi Suryadnyana, when questioned, stated he did not remember introducing John Field to Rizal and was uncertain if he had provided Rizal's contact information.

Nyoman Adhi Suryadnyana, identified as a former customs official now serving at the BPK, acknowledged knowing John Field. However, Field's memory of their acquaintance and Nyoman's specific role in facilitating the introduction to Rizal remained vague, with Field stating he could not recall who gave him Rizal's number.
