Investigators lock down agency offices linked to Prabowo’s free meals scheme after dawn raids.
In early June 2026, police and anti-corruption investigators raided the Free Meals Agency office, sealing the premises and investigating allegations of procurement irregularities linked to the high-profile food distribution program.
Raid And Lockdown
Police and anti-corruption investigators executed a dawn raid on the Free Meals Agency office on June 2, 2026, sealing the building and restricting access while searching for documents and digital records.
Allegations Under Investigation
Investigators are examining suspected procurement irregularities and possible misuse of funds linked to the program, focusing on tender processes, supplier selection, and contract execution.
Links To Political Figure
The program, associated with Prabowo Subianto’s free meals initiative, has prompted scrutiny over governance and oversight. Officials emphasized that the investigation concerns alleged procurement irregularities and is not based on political affiliation.
Evidence Seized And Witnesses
Investigators reportedly seized documents, electronic devices, and financial records and have questioned staff members and contractors to trace procurement activities and payment flows linked to the agency’s operations.
Official Reactions And Next Steps
Authorities said the investigation will continue and may involve additional raids or witness summonses. The agency and relevant stakeholders have been asked to cooperate, while anti-corruption officials pledged a transparent inquiry and regular public updates.
The lockup and raids mark a significant escalation in oversight of large-scale social programs and stress the need for transparent procurement in Indonesia. Indonesians should expect closer scrutiny of politically linked initiatives and stronger enforcement, while Singaporeans and regional partners monitoring governance will see this as a reminder to demand accountability in cross-border aid and procurement arrangements.
