  • The Attorney General's Office searched the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) office hours after President Prabowo reshuffled its leadership.
  • The search occurred on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, with security personnel and TNI members present.
  • The reshuffle involved the removal of the BGN head and two deputy heads, with new appointments made.

The Attorney General's Office conducted a search of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) headquarters in Jakarta on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. Employees were reportedly unable to enter the building due to the ongoing search.

Security personnel at the scene, who requested anonymity, stated that four prosecutor's office vehicles and TNI (Indonesian National Armed Forces) personnel were present during the operation. The search took place just hours after President Prabowo Subianto announced a significant reshuffling of the BGN's top leadership on Tuesday night.

The presidential decree removed BGN Head Dadan Hindayana and replaced him with Nanik S. Deyang, the former deputy head. Additionally, two deputy heads, Brigadier General Sony Sonjaya and Major General TNI (Ret.) Lodewyk Pusung, were dismissed and replaced by Agustina Arumsari and Major General TNI Trenggono. Officials from the Attorney General's Office have not yet responded to requests for confirmation regarding the search, which follows previous rumors of an anti-graft operation at the agency.

Since 2 AM there were four prosecutor's office cars.
