The Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) conducted a search of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) office in Central Jakarta on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. The search was confirmed by Mochamad Jeffry, the acting head of the Legal Information Center at Kejagung.
The investigators of the Special Crimes Directorate of the Attorney General's Office did indeed conduct a search at the BGN office.
Eyewitnesses at the scene reported that BGN employees were unable to enter their offices while the search was in progress. Security personnel stated that the Kejagung team had been present since around 2:00 AM local time. The search reportedly involved personnel from the Indonesian Army (TNI) providing escort.
This action follows a significant leadership change at the BGN. President Prabowo Subianto had previously removed the agency's head, Dadan Hindayana, on Tuesday evening, June 2, 2026. Nanik S. Deyang, formerly the deputy head, was appointed as his replacement. Two deputy head positions were also filled with new appointees.
Since 2 AM, there have been four prosecutor's cars.
While details remain scarce, the search is understood to be connected to an internal audit. Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi indicated that allegations of a "buy-and-sell practice" related to the "Free Nutrition Program" (MBG) are under investigation. He stated that these issues are part of ongoing monitoring and evaluation processes within the agency.
All are in the internal audit process. that is part of, once again we convey, part of the continuous monitoring and evaluation that we carry out.
