KPK receives BPK RI audit on state losses from hajj quota corruption case
Jakarta — The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed receiving an audit report from the State Audit Board (BPK RI) concerning state losses resulting from the hajj quota corruption case.
“Yes, that is correct,” said KPK Deputy for Prosecution and Execution Asep Guntur Rahayu to journalists in Jakarta on Friday.
Asep stated that KPK received the audit results on 24 February 2026. However, he acknowledged he was unable to provide specific details regarding the exact amount.
“I have not yet read the report regarding the amount. We can refer you to Budi Prasetyo (KPK Spokesperson, ed.),” he said.
Earlier, on 9 August 2025, the KPK announced it had begun investigating allegations of corruption in the determination of quotas and the organisation of hajj pilgrimage at the Ministry of Religious Affairs in 2023-2024.
On 11 August 2025, the KPK announced that initial calculations of state losses in the case exceeded Rp1 trillion and prevented three individuals from travelling abroad for the next six months.
The three individuals prevented from travelling were Yaqut Cholil Qoumas, Ishfah Abidal Aziz alias Gus Alex, and Fuad Hasan Masyhur, owner of the hajj organising agency Maktour.
On 9 January 2026, the KPK announced that two of the three individuals were named as suspects in the alleged hajj quota corruption case: Yaqut Cholil Qoumas (YCQ) and Ishfah Abidal Aziz (IAA).
However, Yaqut filed a pre-trial petition against the designation of suspect status at the Jakarta South District Court on 10 February 2026, registered under case number 19/Pid.Pra/2026/PN JKT.SEL.
The first hearing of the pre-trial was originally scheduled for 24 February 2026.
On 19 February 2026, the KPK announced an extension of travel restrictions for only Yaqut and Gus Alex. Fuad was not subjected to an extension.
On 24 February 2026, the judicial panel of the Jakarta South District Court postponed Yaqut’s pre-trial hearing, with a new date set for 3 March 2026. The panel explained that the postponement was requested by the KPK through a letter dated 19 February 2026.
