Khalid’s explanation returned the money to the KPK. The return of the money itself was initially revealed by Khalid Basalamah. He said he returned the money to the KPK through an interview at one of the podcasts. “I have transferred all the KPK friends. They said: ‘Ustaz, this one is 4500 times the congregation returns to the country, Ustaz. “Okay. Khalid said the total funds raised from worshipers reached 4500 × 118 pilgrims plus USD 37,000. All this money was eventually returned to the KPK as part of the investigation. Khalid explained that his pilgrims initially departed with the furoda. All travel costs, ranging from visas, hotels to transport, are paid. Then there came an offer from PT Muhibbah in Pecanbaru who claimed to have access to an additional quota of 2000. Pt Muhibbah by Ibnu Masud promised that pilgrims could get an exclusive maktab that was closer to Jamarat, with the condition that the USD paid 4500 or around RP. 73.8 million per visa outside the cost of maktab. ‘Well. Is this official or not? We officially ask. Well, the language is so. Well. If it is official when we go with Furoda, our visa, Furoda Visa is also official and will leave. This means that it is actually a balance, there is no plus that can make an ‘ah i. ‘Presented on a piece of paper VIP zone A, zone B. Well, this maktab is indeed interesting to us, because Maktab Furoda is far away, so that it can be an advantage as long as the visa is official, then it does not violate the rules, then we understand that it can be legal and then this VIP Maktab -Vip is very close to the VIP Maktab. But in the end, the promised facilities do not match reality. Initially, the promised Maktab was 111, but then moved to Maktab 115. The tent that had to be occupied by pilgrims was also used by other parties so that the group had to move again. After investigating, the quota visa apparently should not be paid, but pilgrims remain $ 4,500 per person. There are even 37 worshipers requested by an extra USD 1,000, so that their visa is processed immediately. The KPK in the Khalid process and the pilgrims left the KPK also investigated how the Khalid process can leave with its pilgrims using additional quota for Hajj. In this floor, Budi said that as Khalid recognized the changes from the beginning with the help of Furoda and then moved to a special pilgrimage. “Investigators are investigating how the acquisition of the pilgrimage -room quota like the mechanism is, then in the field as the appropriate recognition is also related to the initial use of Furoda, and then switched to a special Hajj,” said KPK spokesman, Budi Prasetyo, in the KPK building, Kuningan, South Jakarta, Thursday (11/9). Budi explained that Khalid and his pilgrims departed in the HAJJ in 2024 using additional pilgrimage quota. The KPK is investigating the same thing in this case to other witnesses who are travel bureaus. Khalid was questioned by the KPK on Tuesday (9/9). Khalid was investigated about 7.5 hours. “He is also the owner of Hajj Travel, who sent his worshipers in that year,” he said. “Not only against Witnesses of KB Ustaz, but also investigators from other travel agencies, including also investigations into associations, because in the implementation of the pilgrimage, there are associations that oversee the travel agency,” he added. The alleged corruption case of the Hajj quota in 2024 rose to the investigation phase, but the KPK has not yet mentioned 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, a special Hajj quota is 8 percent of the total national quota. The KPK suspects that the Hajj Travel Association that heard information about the additional quota that made more contact with the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag) 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.
