        "content": "<p>The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has transferred the case\nfiles, evidence, and suspects in the alleged corruption case concerning\nthe 2023\u20132024 Hajj quota to public prosecutors. KPK spokesperson Budi\nPrasetyo stated that the handover signifies the completion of the\ninvestigation and the case\u2019s progression to the prosecution stage. The\npublic prosecutor now has a maximum of 14 days to prepare and submit the\nindictment to the corruption court. The KPK initiated the investigation\ninto the alleged corruption of Indonesia\u2019s Hajj quota on 9 August 2025.\nOn 9 January 2026, the KPK named former Minister of Religious Affairs\nYaqut Cholil Qoumas and his former special staff member, Ishfah Abidal\nAziz, also known as Gus Alex, as suspects. Fuad Hasan Mubarok, the owner\nof the Hajj organiser Maktour, was not named a suspect despite being\nplaced on a travel ban. The KPK later received an audit report from the\nSupreme Audit Agency (BPK) on 24 February 2026, which stated that the\npotential state losses in the case amounted to Rp622 billion. Yaqut was\ndetained at the KPK\u2019s Red and White Building detention centre on 12\nMarch 2026, while Ishfah was detained five days later. Yaqut\u2019s detention\nstatus was briefly changed to house arrest on 19 March 2026 following a\nfamily request, but he was returned to the KPK detention centre on 24\nMarch 2026. As the case developed, the KPK named two additional suspects\non 30 March 2026: Maktour Operational Director Ismail Adham and former\nChairman of the Indonesian Hajj and Umrah Travel Association (Kesthuri)\nAsrul Aziz Taba. Both were subsequently detained on 8 June 2026. On 24\nJune 2026, the KPK suspended Yaqut\u2019s detention and transferred him to\nthe National Police Hospital after he experienced digestive health\nissues. The KPK re-detained Yaqut on 9 July 2026.<\/p>",
