JAKARTA - Former Minister of Religion (Menag) Yaqut Cholil Qoumas asked the South Jakarta District Court judge to cancel the determination of the suspect by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in the alleged corruption case of additional Hajj quotas for the implementation of the 2023-2024 Hajj.

"Therefore, the determination of the suspect against the applicant should be declared invalid and not legally binding, along with all derivative/related legal products," said Gus Yaqut's lawyer team coordinator, Mellisa Anggrini, Tuesday, March 3.

Mellisa stated that Yaqut also asked the panel of judges to cancel all decisions made by the KPK regarding the determination of the status of a suspect against him.

In his application, Yaqut assessed that the KPK did not have a minimum of two pieces of evidence in designating him as a suspect in the Hajj quota case.

The evidence in question is related to the results of audits/reports on the results of calculating state losses from authorized institutions.

"Therefore, the determination of the suspect against the applicant by the respondent has not met the minimum requirement of sufficient evidence and therefore must be declared invalid and not legally binding," he said.
