        "summary": "Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR, Ahmad Sahroni, has proposed that corruption suspects should be required to pay a substantial amount to the state if they wish to be placed under house arrest, in response to the viral case of Yaqut Cholil Qoumas, who was briefly transferred from KPK detention to house arrest. Sahroni noted that such arrangements are temporary, typically lasting only a few nights, and are already practiced in other countries, including neighbouring nations. The suggestion aims to establish clearer regulations for future cases, ensuring that privileges like house arrest come with significant financial accountability to the state.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR,\nAhmad Sahroni, has proposed that corruption suspects must pay a large\nsum to the state if they wish to become house detainees.<\/p>\n<p>Sahroni made this statement in response to corruption suspect in the\nHajj quota case, Yaqut Cholil Qoumas, who went viral after being placed\nunder house arrest, despite previously being detained at the Corruption\nEradication Commission (KPK) detention centre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActually (Yaqut becoming a house detainee) is quite normal. It\u2019s\ntemporary in nature. Even if this is considered new, there must be\nregulations in the future, as he (Yaqut) has already returned (to\ndetention),\u201d Sahroni told Kompas.com on Tuesday (24\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Sahroni explained that when a corruption suspect is placed under\nhouse arrest, it is only temporary.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that a person can be under house arrest for only two to\nfive nights.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, according to Sahroni, regulations requiring payment for\nhouse arrest are already implemented in other countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, in foreign countries, it\u2019s the same. And the payment to\nthe state must be substantial. Many foreign countries apply such rules,\nfor example, our neighbours,\u201d Sahroni added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvestigators have changed the type of detention for suspect YCQ,\nfrom detention at the KPK Detention Centre to house arrest since\nThursday night (19\/3\/2026),\u201d said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo in his\nstatement on Saturday (21\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Budi said that this transfer is only temporary and complies with\nArticle 108 paragraphs (1) and (11) of Law No.\u00a020 of 2025 on the\nCriminal Procedure Code.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed, tomorrow there is already a scheduled request for\ninformation from the person concerned,\u201d said Deputy for Enforcement and\nExecution of the KPK, Asep Guntur Rahayu, when giving a statement at the\nKPK\u2019s Red and White Building on Tuesday (24\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Yaqut himself was imprisoned for approximately one week. He was\nofficially detained by the KPK since Thursday night (12\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Yaqut is charged under Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 of Law\nNo.\u00a031 of 1999 on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption.<\/p>",
