AGO Investigates 47 Names in Alleged Corruption at National Nutrition Agency
The Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) at the Attorney General’s Office, Febrie Adriansyah, has revealed a significant development in the handling of the alleged corruption case at the National Nutrition Agency (BGN). Investigators have found that the number of names implicated in the case has increased from the previous 41 to 47 individuals.
Despite the increase, Febrie stressed that the emergence of these names does not automatically indicate their involvement in unlawful acts. He stated that all names that have surfaced must still undergo a process of deeper investigation, examination, and further verification. ‘Regarding the names mentioned by Mr Sony (former Deputy Head of BGN), 41 people, it has even developed to 43, well, 47 names. But of course, that does not necessarily mean they are linked to unlawful acts and the process of investigation must continue,’ Febrie said during a press conference on Friday (10/7/2026).
Currently, the Attorney General’s Office investigative team is focusing its energy on completing the case files for the BGN matter. Febrie emphasised that accelerating the completion of the files is a top priority in accordance with the instructions he has received. ‘I can convey that the BGN case is currently in the filing process. We are still focused there to resolve it quickly. That is the order given to me,’ he asserted.
The Attorney General’s Office has yet to provide a final conclusion regarding the connection of all the names to the alleged unlawful acts. The development of the number of names will continue to be monitored as the investigation stages progress.
Amid the ongoing legal process, Febrie stated that the Prosecutor’s Office has an interest in ensuring the National Nutrition Agency can continue to perform its functions optimally. This is considering that the BGN is the implementing agency for the Free Nutritious Meal Programme (MBG), which is one of the government’s current priority programmes. The Prosecutor’s Office continues to maintain communication with the leadership currently at the helm of the MBG implementation. This step is taken to ensure that the law enforcement process does not hinder the running of this strategic programme.
‘But we also want the BGN to run well. And we are always communicating with our colleagues who are now leading the MBG. This is certainly a priority programme that is of concern, which we must fix immediately and can run quickly,’ Febrie added. The Attorney General’s Office is committed to handling the case according to applicable legal procedures, while still paying attention to improving governance within the BGN so that the benefits of the MBG Programme can be felt immediately by the wider community.
