Former official seeks 'justice collaborator' status in alleged meal program corruption

Sony Sanjaya, the former Deputy Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), has applied to become a justice collaborator to expose alleged corruption within the "Nutritious Free Meal" (MBG) program. His lawyer, Krisna Murti, emphasized that this step is not an attempt to evade legal responsibility but a commitment to cooperate in uncovering the full scope of the case.

"We want to reveal and cooperate in uncovering who is involved in this flagship presidential program," Murti stated at the Attorney General's Office. While the Attorney General's Office has not yet decided whether to accept Sony's request, he has already begun providing information.

According to Murti, Sony has submitted a list of 26 individuals allegedly involved in the corruption scheme. These names have been recorded in the investigative report by the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes. Murti indicated that the implicated individuals come from various branches of government, including legislative, executive, and judicial, with the legislative branch having the most names. He also suggested that the number of implicated individuals might increase.

Krisna Murti further revealed that Sony possesses all communication evidence, stored on his confiscated mobile phone. He urged authorities to make these chat records public, asserting they contain all communications between the implicated parties and Sony. Murti also claimed that Sony faced pressure, both directly and indirectly, from those connected to the case, which he believes compelled Sony to authorize the opening of the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG).
