Jakarta – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is currently investigating a case of alleged corruption in the 2023-2024 Hajj quota. The KPK is currently starting to move to the Yogyakarta area to carry out a number of inspections. “So simultaneously, yes, last week we checked in East Java, Surabaya and its surroundings, then this week also in Jogja, including last week, and it will continue,” Asep Guntur Rahayu, acting deputy for enforcement and execution of the Corruption Eradication Commission, said Tuesday (21/10/2025) at the KPK, Jakarta. SCROLL TO CONTINUE CONTENT Asep explained that the 10 thousand special Hajj quota that was the problem in this case was spread over many travel destinations. Travelers must therefore be checked in a number of areas. Apart from that, the LTD also participates in the calculation of government finances. The calculation is carried out directly on the spot by the LTD. “So, currently investigators and a team from the LTD are conducting investigations together after coming from East Java and then going to Yogyakarta,” he said. “The aim is that we will really calculate the real value of the country’s financial losses, so check on the spot, like that,” he added. As for today, the Corruption Eradication Committee summoned 5 Hajj travel directors from the Yogyakarta Police. The following are the witnesses. 1. Siti Aisyah, director of PT Saibah Mulia Mandiri2. Mochamad Iqbal, Director of PT Wanda Fatimah Zahra3. Mifdol Abdurrahman, director of PT Nur Ramadhan Wisata4. Tri Winarto, director of PT Firdaus Mulia Abadi5. Retno Anugerah Andriyani, director of PT Hajar Aswad Mubaroq6. Gugi Harry Wahyudi, Private Employee/Operations Manager of the AMPHURI office. The alleged corruption case in the 2024 Hajj quota started when Indonesia received an additional Hajj quota of 20 thousand. The additional quota was then divided into 10 thousand for regular Hajj and 10 thousand for special Hajj. Even though the Hajj Law regulates a special Hajj quota of only 8 percent of the total national quota. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that there was a conspiracy to distribute the additional special Hajj quota between the Ministry of Religion and the Hajj travel agency. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that government losses caused by this case will amount to IDR 1 trillion. The Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) also seized money, cars and houses in connection with this case. The seized money comes from, among other things, refunds from a number of travel agencies. The Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) suspected that the money was an ‘acceleration fee’ requested by members of the Ministry of Religion, but returned it to the travel agency because they were afraid of the DPR’s special hajj committee in 2024.
