AGO wraps up probe against ex-free meals chief
Former National Nutrition Agency (BGN) head Dadan Hindayana will soon face prosecution at court as investigators finish looking into the corruption case pertaining to the free nutritious meal program, with him facing a maximum punishment of 20 years in prison.
The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has concluded its investigation into corruption allegations related to the free nutritious meal program managed by the National Nutrition Agency (BGN). As a result, former BGN head Dadan Hindayana is set to face prosecution, with a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. The AGO handed over suspects and evidence to prosecutors on Tuesday at the Central Jakarta District Attorney’s Office, following months of questioning about 233 witnesses.
The investigation, which began on June 3, focused on irregularities in the verification process for free meals partners and the procurement of electric motorcycles for meal kitchens. Dadan and two other BGN deputies were dismissed from their positions by President Prabowo Subianto just one day before their arrest.
