JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has not yet named a suspect in the corruption case of determining quotas and organizing the 2023-2024 hajj pilgrimage at the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag).

From the information obtained by VOI, the determination of suspects in this case has not been carried out because there are leaders who are hesitant to act. This moment occurs when the title of the case or exposure is commonly carried out to follow up on the findings of investigators in the field.

In this case, the KPK has actually examined a number of figures suspected of being related. Among them are former Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas to travel agents or travel agents who organize special haj (PIHK), including Fuad Hasan Masyhur as the boss of Maktour.

Then the evidence was also obtained by investigators after carrying out a series of searches at various locations. Yaqut's house was also searched and documents were found.

"Based on the results of the last trial, there is one leader who is hesitant and another one who has not shown any support," said the source, Tuesday, December 30.

This information was then responded to by KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo who stated that every development would be conveyed to the public. "If the investigation is complete, including if there is already a determination of the suspect," he said in a written statement.

However, Budi did not answer questions about there being doubts among the leaders in determining the suspects in the haj quota corruption case.

Meanwhile, at the KPK's year-end press conference on December 22, Deputy Chairman of the KPK Fitroh Rohcahyanto did not deny the case of corruption in the slow movement of the haj quota, including in determining suspects. However, he reasoned that this step was because his party had to be careful.

"So it's a little slow but it must be certain, don't be quick and then it will pass. This also concerns human rights," Fitroh told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

In addition, Fitroh claimed that he was still waiting for the calculation of state losses to be carried out by the Financial Audit Agency (BPK). "Because we actually think that Article 2, Article 3," he said.

"(This article, ed) requires there to be a calculation of state losses," continued Fitroh, who is also a former KPK Prosecutor.

As previously reported, the KPK has issued a general investigation order (sprindik) for alleged corruption in adding quotas and organizing the hajj on August 7, 2025. The institution reasoned that the issuance was carried out so that they could make efforts to force requests for information or searches.

The Sprindik general uses Article 2 Paragraph 1 and/or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2021 jo article 55 paragraph 1-1 of the Criminal Code. This means that there is state loss that occurs due to this corrupt practice.

The state's losses in the 2023-2024 quota and Hajj corruption cases are said to have reached more than Rp1 trillion. This number is still increasing because it is only the initial count of the KPK which continues to coordinate with the Financial Supervisory Board (BPK).

This case started with the provision of 20,000 additional Hajj quotas from the Saudi Arabian government for Indonesia to reduce the queue of pilgrims.

However, recently the distribution turned out to be problematic because it was divided equally, namely 50 percent for regular hajj and 50 percent for special hajj.

In fact, according to the law, the distribution should be 92 percent for regular hajj and 8 percent for special hajj.
