The Hajj quota corruption case is already in the investigation stage.The KPK has prevented three people from traveling abroad for six months.
Among them are the former Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas, his staff, especially Ishfah Abidal Aziz or Gus Alex, and the owner of the Maktour Travel travel agent, namely Fuad Hasan Masyhur.
The Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) has also searched a number of places, such as Yaqut’s residence in Condet, the Hajj and Umrah travel agent’s office in Jakarta, the ASN house of the Ministry of Religion in Depok, and the room of the Directorate General of Hajj and Umrah Organizations (PHU) of the Ministry of Religion.
It is known that based on Article 64 paragraph (2) of Law Number 8 of 2019 concerning the Implementation of the Hajj and Umrah, the special Hajj quota is set at 8 percent, while the other 92 percent is allocated for the regular Hajj quota.
Supposedly, the additional Hajj quota of 20,000 was distributed to 18,400 regular Hajj pilgrims, and a special Hajj quota of 1,600.
However, what happened was that the distribution was divided into 10,000 for the regular Hajj quota and 10,000 for the special Hajj quota.This amount is stated in the Decree (SK) of the Minister of Religion Number 130 of 2024 which was signed by Yaqut Cholil Qoumas who served as Minister of Religion at that time.
