Prosecutors have named Andri Mulyono, a commissioner of PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal, as a suspect in a corruption case linked to the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG). PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal supplied electric motorcycles for the National Nutrition Agency (BGN).

Moreover, this is a service, so we will not confiscate all the motorcycles as evidence.

โ€” Syarief Sulaeman NahdiDirector of Investigation at the AGO for Special Crimes, explaining the decision not to confiscate the electric motorcycles.

Investigators from the Attorney General's Office (AGO) stated that they will not confiscate the tens of thousands of electric motorcycles distributed for the nutrition service. Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi, Director of Investigation at the AGO for Special Crimes, explained that not all procurement assets require confiscation as evidence, especially when they are part of a service.

The procurement of 24,400 electric motorcycles was budgeted at Rp1.22 trillion for the 2025 fiscal year. However, the vendor only delivered 21,801 units by the end of March 2026. The procurement gained public attention after a video showed a warehouse filled with these motorcycles bearing the BGN logo.

Currently in the distributor's warehouse.

โ€” Dadan HindayanaFormer Head of BGN, confirming the location of the purchased electric motorcycles.

Former BGN Head Dadan Hindayana confirmed the motorcycles were in the distributor's warehouse and stated they were intended for use in "difficult areas." Hindayana, along with Andri Mulyono and two former deputies, has also been named a suspect in the case.

We will distribute them for the operation of all people in the SPPG, especially in difficult areas.
