Nevertheless, the KPK has not yet specified the total money returned by a number of travel. Until now, the KPK is still pursuing the Ministry of Religion, which is believed to be the ‘storage’ of the flow of funds in the alleged corruption case of the HAJJ quota in 2023-2024.

It’s a multilevel that means, so the collector is not just directly from one person,” KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo told reporters on Thursday (9/25). While Asep also explained that the storage was in each trip, it is a multilevel in the travel association. The travel associations are then again deposited with the storage in the Ministry of Religion. “Later in the Ministry of Religion, the elements are multilevel, there is at the implementation level, there is at the director’s general level, there is at a level that is even more,” he said. “So it was collected, collected so, that’s what we examine. Yes, it must be the end of one person at the main collector,” he added. The KPK itself opens opportunities to apply the article to money laundering (TPPU) related to this matter. TPPU will be applied if the evidence is sufficient. “If we find later that the money is derived from the yields of corruption, the form is bought against possible vehicles, other properties. We will tppu,” he said. There was no suspect as for the alleged corruption case of the Hajj quota in 2024, it rose to the investigation phase, but the KPK has not yet called a suspect. The KPK has investigated a number of parties, including former religious minister Yaqut Cholil Qouumas. The case began when Indonesia received an additional Hajj quota of 20 thousand. Then there is a section of additional Hajj quota until 50:50 for ordinary Hajj and special Hajj. In fact, according to law, the special Hajj quota is 8 percent of the total national quota. The KPK suspects that the Hajj Travel Association that heard information on additional quota is more contact with the Ministry of Religion to discuss the issue of the distribution of the Hajj quota. Based on temporary calculations, the state losses caused by this case reached more than RP 1 trillion. The loss arises as a result of changes in the number of ordinary Hajj quota to special.
