Yogyakarta Prosecutors Collect Data for Corruption Probe into Nutrition Program

The Yogyakarta High Prosecutor's Office is actively gathering data on all Nutritionally Balanced Meal (MBG) kitchens within its Special Region. This initiative is a direct response to a request from the Attorney General's Office's Special Crimes Directorate, which is investigating alleged corruption in the management of the MBG program, also known as the Free Nutritious Meal program.

Langgeng Prabowo, head of the Legal Information Section at the Yogyakarta High Prosecutor's Office, confirmed the data collection effort. He stated that the regional office was asked to help gather information on the locations of these kitchens as part of the ongoing investigation. The total number of MBG kitchens in Yogyakarta was approximately 380 units as of June 2026.

Indeed, the special crimes directorate yesterday requested assistance from the Special Crimes Directorate of the Attorney General's Office to collect data on all SPPG locations in each region, including the DIY region, related to the case being handled by the Special Crimes Directorate of the Attorney General's Office.

Prabowo noted that the data collection process has been completed, and the findings have been submitted to the Attorney General's Office. However, he clarified that the regional office does not have the authority to disclose the contents or results of the data to the public, as the case is being handled by the central investigative body. The Attorney General's Office is reportedly prioritizing the completion of the case files for a swift trial.

The data collection has been submitted to the Special Crimes Directorate of the Attorney General's Office. Because the Special Crimes Directorate of the Attorney General's Office is handling it, we do not have the authority to disclose it.
