Jakarta - Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus)\nFebrie Adriansyah stated that investigators are still reviewing the\njustice collaborator (JC) application filed by Sony Sonjaya, a suspect\nin the alleged corruption case involving the management of the Free\nNutritious Meals (MBG) programme. Speaking in South Jakarta on Monday,\nFebrie outlined several aspects being considered before deciding whether\nto accept or reject the request. \u201cOne, we examine the existing evidence.\nIs his testimony still needed? Second, to what extent can he serve as a\nJC? Can he maximise his capacity as a JC?\u201d he said. Based on these\nconsiderations, he noted that investigators require more time. \u201cThis\nstill needs time. We will decide soon,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Sony Sonjaya was named a suspect on 3 June 2026, alongside former\nHead of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) Dadan Hindayana and former\nDeputy Head of BGN Lodewyk Pusung. Following his designation and\nexamination, Sony applied to become a justice collaborator to assist in\nuncovering the case. The application was submitted through his legal\ncounsel, Krisna Murti, to the Jampidsus on Monday, 8 June. According to\nKrisna, Sony believes he has been unfairly singled out as the party\nresponsible for selling the locations of the Nutrition Fulfilment\nService Unit (SPPG) kitchens, whereas in reality he was under pressure\nand direction from other parties. \u201cHe has been cornered as the one who\nsold the kitchen points, the one who manipulated those kitchens. Yet,\naccording to Mr Sony, he was under pressure, there was attention from\nbig names which he will reveal himself later in court. He was pressured,\nand he was not the mastermind. The consideration is simply that he\nshould not be presumed to be the one who sold those kitchens,\u201d Krisna\nexplained.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jampidsus-reviews-justice-collaborator-request-from-mbg-corruption-suspect-sony-sonjaya-1781506420", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
