Attorney General to probe all projects at National Nutrition Agency

Indonesia's Attorney General's Office is launching a comprehensive review of all procurement projects at the National Nutrition Agency (BGN). The move, conducted in collaboration with the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP), seeks to identify any criminal wrongdoing. "All procurement, we are currently investigating. We are working with BPKP. We will examine the reasonableness of everything. We are opening everything up," stated Febrie Adriansyah, Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes. The investigation is focusing on several alleged fraudulent projects, including the procurement of 21,801 electric motorcycles valued at approximately 1 trillion rupiah, as well as the acquisition of 32,000 pairs of shoes, 31,994 tablets, and 5,400 75-inch televisions. Previously, the Attorney General's Office had named three former BGN officials, Dadan Hindayana, Sony Sonjaya, and Lodewyk Pusung, as suspects in a corruption case related to the subsidized nutrition program. They are accused of intervening in the procurement process for goods and services, leading to acquisitions that did not meet field requirements. Two additional individuals, Sony's associate Asep Yusuf Somantri and PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal Commissioner Andri Mulyono, have also been implicated.
