The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has resumed examinations of several witnesses in the corruption case concerning the 2023-2024 Hajj quota. A total of five witnesses have been summoned from travel agencies.
KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated that the examination of these five witnesses is taking place at the Merah Putih Building of the KPK in Kuningan, South Jakarta. They are being questioned today.

Yesterday, the KPK also summoned five travel agencies for examination as witnesses. Budi mentioned that the KPK will conduct further marathon examinations of travel agencies this week, including visits to the locations of the authorised Hajj travel agencies (PIHK).
The examinations at PIHK locations are expected to make the evidence collection in this case more effective. The KPK has also urged those summoned to be cooperative.
In this case, the KPK recently named two new suspects: Ismail Adham (ISM), Operational Director of PT Makassar Toraja (Maktour), and Asrul Azis Taba (ASR), Commissioner of PT Raudah Eksati Utama and Chairman of the Kesthuri Association.
