The KPK\nstated that assets worth over Rp100 billion have been confiscated in\nthis matter.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this case, the KPK has also conducted asset seizures reaching a\nvalue of over Rp100 billion,\u201d said Asep Guntur Rahayu, Deputy for\nEnforcement and Execution at the KPK, during a press conference at KPK\nheadquarters in South Jakarta on Thursday, 12 March 2026.<\/p>\n
Asep noted that the seizure includes foreign currency in USD and\nSaudi Riyals as well as Rupiah cash. The total also encompasses seizures\nof vehicles and land.<\/p>\n
\u201cComprising cash totalling USD 3.7 million, Rp22 billion and SAR\n16,000, as well as 4 vehicles, and 5 plots of land and buildings,\u201d Asep\nstated.<\/p>\n
Yaqut received fees from the hajj quota corruption case, according to\nthe KPK\u2019s findings. The commission stated that Yaqut received fees\nfollowing his approval of a proposal for additional hajj quota\ndistribution in 2023.<\/p>\n
Asep explained that Yaqut received fees for the hajj pilgrimage\ndepartures in 2023 and 2024. These fees were received by Yaqut because\nhe agreed to the distribution and acceleration of special hajj\ndepartures without requiring the standard queue system.<\/p>\n
Asep clarified that during the 2023 hajj period, the acceleration fee\nfrom the hajj organiser (PIHK) for fulfilling additional special hajj\nquota allocation amounted to USD 5,000 or approximately Rp84.4 million\nper pilgrim. One method involved converting pilgrims with mujamalah\nvisas to special hajj status.<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on the KPK investigation team\u2019s findings, the hajj organiser\n(RFA) also provided this acceleration fee to Yaqut, another official\n(IAA), and several officials at the Religious Affairs Ministry,\u201d Asep\nsaid.<\/p>\n
For the 2024 period, the agreed fee value was USD 2,000 or\napproximately Rp33.8 million per pilgrim. The distribution and\ncollection of these fees occurred between February and June 2024.<\/p>\n
The audit body BPK has completed its calculation of state financial\nlosses in the 2024 hajj quota case. The KPK disclosed that state losses\nin this matter amount to Rp622 billion.<\/p>\n
\u201cEssentially, in this corruption case, state losses totalling\nRp622,090,207,166 have occurred, thus clearly establishing that the\ncorruption case related to hajj quota constitutes a corruption case that\nmeets the criteria of Article 11 paragraph 1 letter d of the KPK Law,\nnamely involving state losses of at least Rp1 billion,\u201d stated the KPK\nLegal Bureau team at South Jakarta District Court on Wednesday, 4\nMarch.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/kpk-total-assets-seized-in-hajj-quota-corruption-case-exceed-rp100-billion-1773334347", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
