Jakarta – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that 300 Special Hajj Organizers (PIHK) provided information to auditors to calculate government losses in the Hajj quota corruption case. The Corruption Eradication Commission estimates that 70% of the 400 PIHKs provided information. “To date, there have been more than 300 PIHKs that have cooperated and provided the information and information required by auditors to calculate the government losses incurred,” KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo told journalists on Thursday (23/10/2025). “This means that if the number of PIHKs is around 400 or more, about 70 percent of PIHKs have been asked for information in the process of calculating KN (state losses),” he added. SCROLL TO CONTINUE CONTENT Budi said that the LTD and KPK are moving together to investigate a number of PIHKs in various regions. However, as to who the figure will be as a suspect in this case, Budi said it will be revealed later along with the construction of the case. “Later, the complete construction of the case (will be presented), including the parties believed to be involved in the execution of alleged illegal acts in the discretionary process for the distribution of this additional Hajj quota,” he said. Additionally, Budi said the KPK is investigating Eri Kusnandar (EK) as head of the General and State Property Division, Ministry of Religion. The Corruption Eradication Committee is investigating the flow of money related to this case. “Investigators are probing alleged money flows related to the quota discretization case, especially special quotas at the Ministry of Religion,” he said. The alleged corruption case in the 2024 Hajj quota started when Indonesia received an additional 20 thousand Hajj quota. 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 Commission (KPK) suspects that the money was an ‘acceleration fee’ requested by members of the Ministry of Religion, but it was returned to the travel agency because they were afraid of the DPR’s special hajj committee in 2024.
