The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) conducted a raid on the office of the Religious Affairs Ministry, resulting in a search that lasted more than 11 hours, in an effort to find new evidence in relation to the naming of Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali as a suspect in an alleged corruption case surrounding the 2012-2013 haj program.
“We want to thoroughly probe various important pieces of information in order to explore the case completely,” KPK deputy chairman Bambang Widjojanto said as quoted by kompas.com on Friday.
KPK investigators began the raid on Thursday night in several rooms on the fifth level of the ministry’s office on Jl. Lapangan Banten, Central Jakarta, including a room used by Anggito Abimanyu, the ministry’s director general for the haj and umrah (minor haj). The raid was said to be still ongoing as of Friday morning.
KPK investigators also searched rooms used by Suryadharma and Nur Syam, who is the ministry’s secretary-general, as well as Burhanudin, chief of the ministry’s general affairs bureau.
Suryadharma and three other ministry officials remained onsite while the KPK conducted its search, during which several plastic bags full of documents were confiscated.
KPK deputy chairman Busyro Muqoddas said that Suryadharma was not the only official implicated in the graft case, which has been under investigation for the past three months.
In February, the KPK said its investigation was focused on three areas: the procurement of goods and services in the haj pilgrimage program in 2012-2013; the management of haj funds in 2012-2013; and the provision of haj facilities to individuals who were not entitled to them.
