Attorney General's Office searches BGN office, seizes evidence in corruption case

Investigators from the Attorney General's special crimes unit (Pidsus) conducted a search at the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) office in Jakarta on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. The operation aimed to gather evidence in a suspected corruption case concerning the management of the "Makan Bergizi Gratis" (MBG) program.

During the search, prosecutors secured a container box filled with evidence. The case involves allegations of corruption in the governance of the MBG program, which is intended to provide nutritious meals. The investigation has named former BGN head Dadan Hindayana and two former deputy heads, Sony Sanjaya and Lodewyk Pusung, as key figures.

The Attorney General's Office has taken steps to secure crucial evidence from the BGN office to support their ongoing investigation into the alleged mismanagement of public funds intended for the nutrition program. The seized items are expected to provide further insights into the alleged corrupt practices.

The operation highlights the government's efforts to combat corruption within public institutions. The focus on the MBG program suggests a commitment to ensuring that resources allocated for public welfare initiatives are used appropriately and effectively. Further details are expected as the investigation progresses.
