Indonesia's KPK suspects Aizzudin Abdurrahman, head of PBNU's Economy and Environment Division, of linking hajj organizers to corrupt quota deals in the ongoing 2023-2024 Hajj scandal, claiming evidence of fund flows despite his denials.
In a new development in the Hajj quota corruption case—previously covered with the naming of suspects Yaqut Cholil Qoumas and Ishfah Abidal Aziz, and Rp100 billion in fund returns—Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) now suspects Aizzudin Abdurrahman (AIZ), head of Nahdlatul Ulama's Central Board (PBNU) Economy and Environment Division, of acting as an intermediary.
KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated on January 15, 2026, that Aizzudin connected special Hajj organizers (PIHK) and travel agencies seeking parts of the Ministry of Religious Affairs' additional 20,000 quotas. Aizzudin, questioned as a witness on January 13, denied receiving funds: "So far, no. There isn't any."
However, KPK has evidence from other witnesses, documents, and electronic records showing money flows, with calculations ongoing. The scandal, investigated since August 2025, involves violations of Law No. 8/2019 on quota splits and an evidence destruction attempt at Maktour Hajj agency.
