        "content": "<p>Investigators from the Directorate of Investigation at the Junior\nAttorney General for Special Crimes have officially named a new suspect\nfrom the private sector, identified by the initials AYS, in the alleged\ncorruption case concerning the management of the Free Nutritious Meals\nprogramme at the National Nutrition Agency. Director of Investigation\nSyarief Sulaeman Nahdi confirmed that AYS was named a suspect on\nSaturday, 6 June 2026. AYS is suspected of being involved in\nmanipulating the partner registration system for this national strategic\nproject. The investigating team has named another suspect, AYS, a\nprivate party, as a suspect, Syarief stated at the Attorney General\u2019s\nOffice in Jakarta on Thursday. Syarief explained that AYS\u2019s role began\nwith a request from suspect SS, former Deputy Head of the National\nNutrition Agency, to find programme partner providers. During the\nprocess, SS allegedly provided unlawful special access to AYS to\nintervene with the partner verification team. This access was used by\nAYS to map vacant communal kitchen points and cancel the registration\nstatus of prospective Nutritional Fulfilment Service Units that had\npreviously been approved on the official portal. After carrying out\nunilateral cancellations, AYS entered new service unit parties\naffiliated with him, even though the system registration had actually\nbeen closed. SS unlawfully gave access to AYS to intervene with the Free\nNutritious Meals partner verification team so he could identify vacant\nkitchen points and manage prospective service units, Syarief explained.\nIn return for this project monopoly and data manipulation, AYS allegedly\nhanded over a sum of money to SS. For his actions, AYS has been charged\nunder Article 12 letters a and b of the Corruption Crime Law, as well as\nArticle 605 paragraph 2 and Article 606 of the Criminal Code. AYS is\ncurrently detained for the next 20 days at the Salemba Detention Centre\nbranch of the South Jakarta District Prosecutor\u2019s Office. To date, the\nAttorney General\u2019s Office has named a total of four suspects in the\ncorruption case concerning the management of the free meals programme,\nnamely former Head of the agency Dadan Hindayana, his two former\ndeputies Sony Sonjaya and Lodewyk Pusung, and the newest suspect from\nthe private sector, AYS.<\/p>",
