Attorney General's Office Intensifies Search for Evidence in MBG Corruption Case
The investigation into alleged corruption regarding the management of the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) programme for the 2025-2026 fiscal year continues to gain momentum. Following the designation of three former high-ranking officials of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) as suspects, the Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) is now aggressively pursuing evidence suspected to be linked to the case.
The investigation team from the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) has been conducting marathon searches at several locations across Jakarta. This move is intended to strengthen the legal construction of the case, which is currently still being developed. The Director of Investigation for Jampidsus, Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi, revealed that the process of searching for evidence was still ongoing as of Thursday, 4 June 2026.
“The process of collecting evidence through forced searches in several places is still underway. It is continuing as of now,” he stated on Thursday, 4 June 2026.
Despite the ongoing activity, investigators have declined to disclose the specific locations being inspected. The Attorney General’s Office has chosen to withhold this information as the search operations are still active in the field. It is certain, however, that the search for evidence is no longer focused solely on the locations previously targeted by investigators. When asked whether searches were still being conducted at the six previously inspected sites, Syarief hinted that his team had moved to other points.
“They have shifted; it is still ongoing,” he said.
This statement indicates that the investigation into the MBG case has not concluded with the initial findings. Investigators are still tracing the possibility of documents, electronic evidence, or other clues scattered across different locations. However, the Attorney General’s Office continues to keep the total number of inspected sites and their status—whether they are private residences, offices, or other relevant locations—strictly confidential.
“We will disclose it later, as the process is still ongoing,” he added.
According to Syarief, the hunt for evidence has been the primary focus of investigators over the last few days. The investigation team is reportedly working intensively to collect all necessary data to fully uncover the alleged corruption within the National Nutrition Agency (BGN).
“Our system over the last two or three days has been intensive in searching for evidence and conducting marathon searches in several locations,” he said.
It was previously reported that the Attorney General’s Office uncovered serious irregularities in the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) programme, which has implicated three former top officials of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) as suspects.
