The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) has named Andri Mulyono, the commissioner of PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal (YAT) — a supplier of Emmo electric motorcycles — as a suspect in a corruption case concerning the governance of the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) programme. ‘Based on two sufficient pieces of evidence, the investigation team has named AM, the commissioner of PT YAT, as a suspect in the investigation into alleged corruption in the governance of MBG at BGN,’ said the Director of Investigations for the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi, during a press conference on Friday (12/6). Syarief explained that Andri, as commissioner and controller of PT YAT, a company engaged in the procurement of goods and logistics, held a meeting with Lodewyk Pusung, who was then serving as Deputy Head of BGN. The purpose was to present the company’s profile in order to work on procurement projects at BGN. Following the meeting, Andri obtained information regarding the procurement of electric motorcycles at BGN. ‘Subsequently, since February 2025, AM has unlawfully engaged in active communication with the Commitment Making Official (PPK) to follow up on the procurement plan,’ Syarief stated. For his actions, Andri has been charged under Articles 603 and 604 of the Criminal Code. He has been detained for the next 20 days at the Salemba Detention Centre branch of the South Jakarta District Prosecutor’s Office. Previously, the Attorney General’s Office had named four other suspects in this case. They are former BGN Head Dadan Hindayana, former BGN Deputy Head Sony Sonjaya, former BGN Deputy Head Lodewyk Pusung, and Asep Yusuf Somantri (AYS), a confidant of Sony. Syarief explained that the MBG programme was supposed to be managed by foundations affiliated with recipient schools. However, in practice, many appointed SPPG (Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units) were chosen because of their affiliations with BGN officials. He added that these foundations also did not actually meet the requirements to become SPPG partners. The three former officials also allegedly marked up the prices of procured goods, resulting in losses that did not support the operational implementation of MBG. The items included 21,801 units of electric motorcycles valued at Rp1.03 trillion, 32,000 pairs of shoes, 31,994 tablet units, and 5,400 units of 75-inch televisions.
