Because it is different, every travel is then every congregation is different,” he said. After being investigated yesterday, Khalid claims he was prepared to leave with Furoda, but changed because he received a special Hajjy offer. The KPK is still investigating why Khalid has changed from what previously Hajj Furoda will use after a special Hajj. “Is he the owner of his journey in Uhud, or another journey, or because he has many worshipers, so the quota in his journey is limited. So he joins other travel,” he said. Previously, Khalid was investigated about 7.5 hours on Tuesday (9/9). After being investigated, Khalid claimed to be a congregation that was a victim of Pt Muhibbah’s journey. “So I was in the same position with Furoda’s congregation, and then we paid Furoda, ready to leave Furoda, but there was a person named Ibnu Mas’ud who owned Pt Muhibbah of Pekanbaru and offered this visa, so we finally joined his journey,” Khalid said. Khalid has PT Zahra oto Mandiri (Uhud tour). Khalid explained that he left Pt Muhibbah to Hajj with the Uhud Tour -Pilgrims.

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. The latest in this case confiscated the KPK 2 houses in South Jakarta worth RP 2.6 billion. The house was allegedly bought from the Hajj quotas. (IAL/WHN)
