AGO to Charge MBG Corruption Suspects with Money Laundering
The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) has opened the possibility of applying money laundering (TPPU) charges against suspects in the MBG (Makan Bergizi Gratis) corruption case. This was conveyed after investigators named five individuals as suspects in a case involving former officials of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) and private parties. The five suspects are former BGN Head Dadan Hindayana, two former BGN Deputy Heads Sonny Sonjaya and Loedwijk Pusung, private party Asep Yusuf Somantri, and PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal Commissioner Andri Mulyono.
The Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Febrie Adriansyah, stated that the possibility of using the TPPU article depends heavily on the results of the investigation and the evidence gathered by investigators. “Of course (we will apply TPPU). We will definitely pursue it if there is evidence,” Febrie said when met at the Asset Recovery Agency (BPA) Office of the Attorney General’s Office on Monday, 15 June 2026.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Legal Information Centre (Kapuspenkum) of the AGO, Anang Supriatna, emphasised that the TPPU article is one of the instruments that can be used to recover state losses arising from criminal acts of corruption. According to Anang, investigators are not only focused on proving the criminal acts of the suspects but will also trace the origins of assets suspected to be related to the case. “We will certainly pursue the parties deemed involved. Not only to convict the individuals but also to recover state losses, one of the instruments being TPPU for those connected and who received (the proceeds),” he said.
In the latest development, the AGO has named PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal Commissioner Andri Mulyono as the fifth suspect in the alleged MBG corruption case. The Director of Investigation at Jampidsus, Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi, explained that the suspect status was granted after investigators conducted examinations and found sufficient evidence. “The investigation team has named Saudara AM, Commissioner of PT YAT, as a suspect in the investigation of alleged corruption in the governance of MBG at BGN for the 2025-2026 period,” Syarief told reporters at the Attorney General’s Office building on Friday, 12 June 2026.
