JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) plans to summon the former Minister of Religion (Menag) Yaqut Cholil Qoumas as a suspect in the corruption case of determining quotas and organizing the 2023-2024 Hajj pilgrimage at the Ministry of Religion.
This plan was conveyed by the Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, Asep Guntur Rahayu, after the South Jakarta District Court (PN) panel of judges rejected the pretrial lawsuit filed by Yaqut today, March 11. The summons is said to be carried out this week although it is not specified.
"In the near future we have called the person concerned," Asep told reporters at the PN Jaksel, Wednesday, March 11.
Meanwhile, regarding Yaqut's detention, Asep did not want to say much. All of them will be seen when the summons is carried out.
"We'll see, yes, it's not necessarily like that. But we have to consider many things," he said.
Even so, he said that Yaqut's chances of being orange were very open after the summons was carried out. "If the consideration is suitable, of course we will not delay," said Asep, who also served as the Director of Investigation of the KPK.
"So it's not because there is any problem, there is no problem at all, of course we see how the process goes."
As previously reported, the South Jakarta District Court (PN) rejected the pretrial lawsuit filed by former Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas regarding the legality or not of the determination of suspects in the corruption of quotas and the implementation of the 2023-2024 hajj by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
The verdict was read by Single Judge of the PN Jaksel, Sulistyo Muhammad Dwi Putro, today, March 11. The application was rejected in its entirety.
"Judging: in the main case: rejecting the application of the Pre-trial Applicant for all of them," said Sulistyo as the hakom when reading the verdict.
The judge said the establishment of a suspect against Yaqut was in accordance with the Constitutional Court (MK) decision and the Supreme Court Regulation (Perma) Number 4 of 2016.
The pre-trial was filed after the KPK announced two suspects in the corruption case for determining quotas and organizing the 2023-2024 Hajj period at the Ministry of Religion. They are former Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas and staff in particular, Ishfah Abidal Aziz alias Gus Alex.
