Building on initial ministerial warnings and Hajj embarkations earlier in April 2026, the Task Force for Handling Illegal Hajj and Umrah—formed on April 14—has uncovered dozens of fraud cases targeting pilgrims. By April 30, it received 115 reports, with 68 under processing, as Wakapolri Commissioner General Dedi Prasetyo stressed prevention and enforcement against repeat offenders.
