        "content": "<p>The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is awaiting the results\nof a health test for Yaqut Cholil Qoumas before returning the former\nMinister of Religious Affairs to the detention centre (rutan). KPK\nspokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated that Yaqut would immediately be placed\nin the KPK Detention Centre if he passes the health examination. The\nhealth test for Yaqut was conducted by a team of doctors from\nBhayangkara Hospital in East Jakarta. \u201cWe are all waiting for the\nresults of this health test,\u201d Budi said in an official statement\nreceived by CNNIndonesia.com on Monday (23\/3). The KPK itself has\nrestored Yaqut\u2019s status as a detainee in the KPK Detention Centre in the\nHajj quota corruption case. Last Thursday, Yaqut\u2019s status was\ntemporarily changed to house arrest at the family\u2019s request. \u201cToday,\nMonday 23 March 2026, the KPK carried out the process of changing the\ntype of detention for Suspect Sdr. YCQ in the alleged criminal\ncorruption case regarding the Hajj quota, from house arrest back to KPK\nDetention Centre detainee,\u201d Budi said. Furthermore, the KPK guarantees\nthat the investigation into the Hajj quota corruption case involving\nYaqut will continue until it is handed over to the prosecution stage.\n\u201cOn this occasion, we also convey our thanks to all Indonesian people\nwho continue to monitor and support the KPK in handling this case,\u201d he\nsaid. The KPK faced widespread criticism after secretly changing Yaqut\u2019s\nstatus from KPK Detention Centre detainee to house arrest. The\nrevelation that Yaqut was on house arrest stemmed from comments by the\nwife of former Deputy Minister of Manpower Immanuel Ebenezer (Noel),\nSilvia Rinita Harefa, to journalists after visiting Noel during Eid on\nSaturday (21\/3). \u201cI didn\u2019t see Gus Yaqut earlier. The info is he left on\nThursday night,\u201d Silvia said at the KPK Detention Centre on Saturday\n(21\/3). After the publicity from Noel\u2019s wife\u2019s testimony, the KPK then\nissued a statement confirming that Yaqut was on house arrest. The KPK\nadmitted that the change in detention status was not related to Yaqut\u2019s\nhealth condition. \u201cIt\u2019s not because of illness. It was indeed due to a\nrequest from the family, which we then processed,\u201d KPK spokesperson Budi\nPrasetyo told journalists on Sunday (22\/3).<\/p>",
