        "content": "<p>The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) states that the transfer\nof the detention status of suspect Yaqut Cholil Qoumas in the alleged\ncorruption case of the 2023-2024 Hajj quotas from state detention house\n(Rutan) to house arrest has been carried out in accordance with\nprocedures and legal provisions. This was conveyed by the KPK in\nresponse to the ethics complaint submitted by the Indonesian\nAnti-Corruption Society (MAKI) to the KPK Supervisory Board today,\nWednesday (25\/3). \u201cThe KPK assures that all processes and steps taken\nhave been carried out in accordance with the mechanisms, procedures, and\napplicable legal regulations,\u201d said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo when\nconfirmed via written message, Wednesday (25\/3). Budi explained that the\ntransfer of detention status followed up on a request from Yaqut\u2019s\nfamily. Considering Article 108 paragraphs 1 and 11 of Law Number 20 of\n2025 on the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), the KPK granted it. During\nthe implementation of the detention transfer, the KPK conducted attached\nsupervision and security for Yaqut. Budi added that the KPK respects the\nethics complaint submitted by MAKI as it represents public participation\nin maintaining the accountability and integrity of the anti-corruption\ninstitution. \u201cWe believe the Supervisory Board will follow up on the\nreport objectively, professionally, and independently,\u201d said Budi. \u201cIn\nthe future, the KPK will remain committed to carrying out its\nanti-corruption duties transparently, accountably, and responsibly,\nwhile being open to all forms of supervision as part of efforts to\nmaintain public trust,\u201d he stated. Previously, MAKI Coordinator Boyamin\nSaiman said the transfer of detention status for former Indonesian\nMinister of Religious Affairs Yaqut was legally flawed because it did\nnot go through a collective collegial decision by the KPK leadership.\nFor this reason, he filed an ethics complaint report to the KPK\nSupervisory Board. The respondents consist of five KPK leaders, KPK\nDeputy for Enforcement and Execution Asep Guntur Rahayu, and KPK\nSpokesperson Budi Prasetyo. \u201cWe request the KPK Supervisory Board to\nconduct an ethics examination of the parties in the KPK environment who\ntook or approved the decision to transfer the detention of suspect Yaqut\nCholil Qoumas,\u201d said Boyamin at the KPK Office, Jakarta, Wednesday\n(25\/3).<\/p>",
