JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has not found the involvement of members of the Indonesian House of Representatives in the alleged corruption of quotas and the implementation of Hajj in 2023-2024 at the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag). Investigators have not yet obtained evidence because this case has just gone up to the investigation stage using a general investigation warrant (sprindik).
"So far there has been no (early evidence leading to a member of the DPR RI being involved, ed)," said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu to reporters at the parliament complex, Senayan, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, August 20.
Asep said investigators were focusing on their findings regarding the shift of 20,000 additional problematic hajj quotas. "We're just in the early stages, here, just up early fingerprints," he said.
"There is no involvement of members of the DPR RI, red) yet," continued Asep, who also serves as Director of Investigation of the KPK.
Previously reported, the KPK has issued a general investigation warrant (sprindik) for alleged corruption in the addition of quotas and the implementation of Hajj. This institution reasoned that the issuance was carried out so that they could make forced efforts.
The general Sprindik uses Article 2 Paragraph 1 and/or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2021 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code. This means that there are state losses that occur due to this rasuah practice.

State losses in the corruption case of quota and Hajj for the period 2023-2024 are said to have reached more than IDR 1 trillion. This amount is still increasing because it is only the initial calculation of the KPK which continues to coordinate with the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) of the Republic of Indonesia.
The anti-corruption commission has conducted a series of searches in several locations. Among them are the offices of the Ministry of Religion, the homes of related parties to the offices of travel agents or travel agents for Hajj and Umrah trips.
Searches at the Ministry of Religion and the homes of related parties took place conducively. The parties were cooperative.
From this activity, one unit of four-wheeled vehicles, several property assets, as well as documents and electronic evidence (BBE) related to allegations of corruption in quotas and the implementation of Hajj.
Meanwhile, at the travel agent office, the opposite is true. Investigators suspect that there are parties who are trying to eliminate evidence so that the KPK is considering the application of Article 21 of the Corruption Act related to obstruction of justice or obstruction of investigation.
Then, investigators moved to a house in the Depok area, West Java. There the investigators confiscated a four-wheeled vehicle and took it to the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.
Finally, investigators searched Yaqut's house and confiscated electronic evidence. This finding will later be extracted to seek information related to allegations of corruption that is being handled.
