The Common Thread of Two Corruption Clusters at BGN: Trading SPPG Locations and Marking Up Goods
The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) is continuing its investigation into alleged corruption in the management of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. Kejagung has revealed two interconnected corruption clusters within the agency.
Director of Investigation at the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi, explained that the investigation is being conducted in parallel to uncover illegal practices within the institution responsible for the free nutritious meals (MBG) programme.
‘So, there are two major modus operandi that we are currently investigating. The first is the trading of points (locations), that is the first one. Then the second is the procurement of goods or services,’ Syarief stated during a press conference at the Jampidsus Round Building in South Jakarta on Friday (12/6/2026).
In the first cluster, investigators are focusing on allegations that certain individuals traded SPPG location points. Previously, Kejagung had named a suspect from the private sector, Asep Yusuf Somantri (AYS), a close associate of former BGN Deputy Head Sony Sonjaya, who is suspected of being involved in determining SPPG locations across various regions.
Sony allegedly provided Asep with access to intervene with the MBG partner verification team. This allowed Sony to identify vacant kitchen points and cancel the status of prospective SPPGs that had already been approved on the MBG partner portal.
Meanwhile, the second cluster relates to the procurement of supporting assets, one of which was the procurement of electric motorcycles that did not comply with regulations. In this cluster, Kejagung has named Andri Mulyono (AM), Commissioner of PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal (YAT), as a suspect.
AM is suspected of lobbying former BGN Deputy Head Lodewyk Pusung before the project even began, marking up prices, and manipulating the Handover Minutes (BAST) documents.
‘The budget (for the procurement project) was around Rp 1.1 trillion. We can state that there was a mark-up because the formation of the self-estimated price (HPS) was carried out unlawfully or was conditioned,’ Syarief clarified.
However, the specific roles and the collaborative flow between each suspect, including former BGN Head Dadan Hindayana, have not yet been detailed.
‘This is a single entity, but for the sake of further proof, these are different procurements. This is trading points, this is procurement. But they are in the same area. There will be a common thread linking everything,’ said Head of the Attorney General’s Legal Information Centre, Anang Supriatna.
To date, Kejagung has named a total of five suspects in the BGN corruption scandal. They are:
Former BGN Head, Dadan Hindayana
Former BGN Deputy Head, Sony Sonjaya
Former BGN Deputy Head, Lodewyk Pusung
Private sector individual, Asep Yusuf Somantri
Commissioner of PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal (PT YAT), Andri Mulyono.
