KPK Questions Hajj Travel Firm Owner Over Alleged Corruption

Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has summoned Fuad Hasan Masyhur, the owner of the hajj and umrah travel company PT Maktour, for questioning. Masyhur was examined as a witness in connection with alleged corruption related to the determination of quotas and the organization of the Hajj pilgrimage for the 2023-2024 period within the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

Masyhur appeared at the KPK's Red and White Building in Jakarta on Thursday, June 18, 2026, to provide his statement. The investigation focuses on potential corrupt practices in the allocation and management of Hajj pilgrimage services, a matter of significant public interest in Indonesia, a country with the world's largest Muslim population.

PT Maktour is a prominent company in the Hajj and umrah travel sector. The KPK's inquiry into its owner's involvement suggests a deep dive into the administrative and potentially financial processes governing the Hajj pilgrimage. This includes examining how quotas are assigned and how the overall organization of the pilgrimage is managed by the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

The KPK continues its efforts to combat corruption in various sectors, and this investigation into the Hajj pilgrimage system aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the management of religious services. Further details are expected as the investigation progresses and more information becomes available regarding the alleged corrupt practices.
