Jakarta. The Corruption Eradication Commission, or KPK, has named former religious affairs minister Suryadharma Ali a suspect in the ministerial operational funds graft case, the third corruption case in which he has been implicated.

Johan Budi, the KPK’s ad interim chief, said the alleged corruption occurred during Suryadharma’s tenure as religious affairs minister between 2011 and 2014. The operational funds case stems from a corruption case involving Indonesia’ hajj fund.

Suryadharma, former chairman of the United Development Party (PPP), has been accused of abusing his power as religious affairs minister in two separate hajj fund graft cases.

He is accused of misusing the 2012-2013 hajj quota for himself, his family and relatives — incurring Rp 3.74 billion ($284,000) in state losses in the process.

He is also accused of embezzling state funds in a hajj dorm construction project in Saudi Arabia between 2010 to 2011.
