The names mentioned by Sony were initially 41 people, and this has now grown.
Previously, Sony Sonjaya, a suspect in the MBG project corruption case, revealed several names allegedly involved in demanding portions of the nutrition program's service units. Sony's legal counsel, Krisna Murti, confirmed that his client provided this information to investigators after agreeing to cooperate as a justice collaborator. Murti added that the total number of names mentioned has increased, with Sony recently adding three more individuals to the list, bringing the total to 41.
So the total number of names from yesterday, 26, plus those mentioned earlier, and then there are an additional three names mentioned by Mr. Sony, bringing the total today to 41 names.
