Attorney General's Office Does Not Seize Thousands of Electric Motorcycles from BGN Project Allegedly Marked Up, Here's Why
The Attorney General’s Office has not carried out the seizure of tens of thousands of procurement items belonging to the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) which were indicated to have experienced price mark-ups. The luxury goods and operational support facilities for the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme are known to have been sent to various regions across Indonesia.
The Director of Investigation at the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi, explained that investigators considered field effectiveness because all these assets are already in the hands of beneficiaries in the regions.
“No (they were not seized). The goods have already been distributed to the regions,” Syarief said when confirmed on Thursday.
The fantastically valuable assets that the Adhyaksa Corps decided not to seize are part of the uncovering of an alleged corruption case in the management of the MBG for the 2025–2026 period, which has implicated former BGN Head Dadan Hindayana along with his two deputies, Lodewyk Pusung and Sony Sanjaya.
The details of the supporting goods, which are now scattered across various regions, include 21,801 electric motorcycles, 31,994 tablets, 5,400 75-inch widescreen televisions, and 32,000 pairs of shoes.
Syarief emphasised that the special crimes investigation team is still moving marathon-style in the field to hunt for documents, digital evidence, and fund flows in the corruption case involving Dadan and others. A number of searches at several strategic locations related to the BGN and private vendors are also reported to still be ongoing.
“Investigators are still moving. I will convey the results later, if not now, then tomorrow morning,” concluded Syarief.
Syarief said that currently, the investigation team is also continuing to work on dissecting the exact percentage and nominal value of the price mark-up differences committed by the suspects.
“The exact figure is still being calculated,” said Syarief.
