The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to calculate confiscated money in cases of corruption in quotas and the implementation of Hajj in 2023-2024 at the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag).
Spokesperson for the KPK, Budi Prasetyo, said that the calculation must be carried out carefully by investigators because the money confiscated is not only in rupiah denominations.
The money confiscated came from a number of travel agents or travel agents who organize the special pilgrimage (PIHK) who returned the money to the KPK when examined.
"Because not only rupiah, but also several foreign currencies were confiscated," Budi told reporters quoted on Saturday, October 18, 2025.
Budi also said that the PIHK travel agent would also continue to be questioned regarding the sale and purchase of quotas starting from the distribution of 20,000 additional rations from the Saudi Arabian government. Likewise with the association that houses them.

"So indeed investigators are still investigating from many associations and PIHK," he said.
From the distribution process to buying and selling quotas, both between PIHK and the prospective pilgrims (will be investigated by investigators, ed.). Where the practice in the field varies, so further investigation is needed, a search is needed for PIHK," said Budi again.
Previously reported, the KPK is investigating allegations of corruption related to quotas and the implementation of Hajj in 2023-2024 at the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag). No suspects have been named for using a general investigation warrant (sprindik).
The generalized 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 corrupt 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 number is still increasing because it is only the initial calculation of the KPK which continues to coordinate with the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK).
This case began with the provision of 20,000 additional Hajj quotas from the Saudi Arabian government for Indonesia to reduce queues for pilgrims.
However, the distribution turned out to be problematic because it was divided equally, namely 50 percent for regular Hajj and 50 percent for special Hajj based on the Decree (SK) of the Minister of Religion signed by Yaqut Cholil Qoumas.
In fact, based on the law, the distribution should be 92 percent for regular Hajj and 8 percent for special Hajj.
Later, the distribution of problems was allegedly due to money from the Hajj and Umrah travel parties as well as the associations that oversee the Ministry of Religion. After getting the allotment, they sold the additional quota to prospective pilgrims.
During the investigation process, a number of parties have been questioned, including Yaqut Cholil Qoumas. Investigators have also searched his house and found documents and electronic evidence that are suspected to be related.
