T
he Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has begun seizing thousands of electric motorcycles procured by the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) as part of a massive corruption investigation linked to the government’s free nutritious meal program.
Investigators from the Office of Assistant Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) inspected a warehouse in Bogor, West Java, on Wednesday, where the motorcycles had reportedly been stored unused for months.
Jampidsus director of investigation Syarief Sulaeman Nahdi said the visit was conducted to verify the number of units and seal the storage facility.
“The purpose is to check the number of electric motorcycles and seal the site,” Syarief said as quoted by Kompas.com.
He added that inspections and sealing operations would continue at other storage sites in stages.
Syarief said that not all electric motorcycles would be confiscated as part of the investigation, emphasizing that the probe was focused on alleged irregularities in the procurement process rather than the physical units themselves.
“Not all of them need to be taken as evidence. The investigation only requires documentation and records related to the procurement process, so there is no need to seize all the units, especially since these are assets that will be used for public service,” he said.
