KPK confirms Fuad Hasan Masyhur attends rescheduled questioning in Hajj quota case

Jakarta - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has stated that Fuad Hasan Masyhur, the owner of Hajj organiser PT Makassar Toraja, also known as Maktour, attended a rescheduled examination as a witness in the alleged corruption case involving Hajj quotas. “It is correct, this morning witness FHM attended the rescheduled examination related to the investigation of the Hajj quota case,” KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo told journalists in Jakarta on Thursday. According to Budi, KPK investigators immediately examined Fuad Hasan upon his arrival at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building in Jakarta. The KPK announced the commencement of the investigation into the alleged corruption of Indonesia’s 2023-2024 Hajj quotas on 9 August 2025. On 9 January 2026, the KPK named former Religious Affairs Minister Yaqut Cholil Qoumas and his special staff member, Ishfah Abidal Aziz, also known as Gus Alex, as suspects. Fuad Hasan Masyhur was not named a suspect in the case, although he had previously been placed on a travel ban. The KPK subsequently received the audit results from the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK) on 27 February 2026, which indicated that the potential state loss in the case had reached Rp622 billion. The KPK then detained Yaqut on 12 March 2026 at the KPK Detention Centre Branch of the Merah Putih Building, while Ishfah was detained on 17 March 2026. Yaqut’s detention status was temporarily changed to house arrest on 19 March 2026 at the request of his family, but he was returned to the KPK detention centre on 24 March 2026. On 30 March 2026, the KPK named two new suspects: Maktour Operational Director Ismail Adham and former General Chairman of the Indonesian Hajj and Umrah Tour Travel Association (KESTHURI) Asrul Aziz Taba. Both were subsequently detained on 8 June 2026.
