Jakarta – Former indonesian Minister of Youth and Sports Dito Ariotedjo underwent questioning Friday by the nation’s anti-corruption agency, the KPK, as part of an examination into alleged irregularities with the 2024 Hajj pilgrimage quota. The probe centers on the allocation of slots for the annual Islamic pilgrimage, a process consistently facing high demand and logistical challenges [[1]]. Ariotedjo’s testimony focused on his accompaniment of President Joko Widodo during a 2023 working visit to Saudi Arabia, a key element in understanding the quota discussions and approvals.
