The suspect this time, is the Chairman of the Indonesia Food Security Review Foundation, Glory Harimas Sihombing (GHS), he was named a suspect after investigators found evidence that was considered sufficient.
"From the results of the investigation based on the testimony of witnesses and existing evidence, investigators have named GHS's brother as a suspect," said Director of Investigation (Dirdik) of the Attorney General's Office for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) Kejagung, Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi, in a press conference at Kejagung, South Jakarta, Thursday, June 18, 2026 evening.
Syarief assessed that the GHS suspect was suspected of having a role in finding partners for the Free Nutritious Meal Program at the request of the former Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), Dadan Hindayana.
The suspect is said to have gained access to get the kitchen point of the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG) through the foundation he led.
