2 Saksi Bantah Aliran Uang ke Yaqut, Beber soal Dugaan Arahan Fee

Kuasa hukum Yaqut juga mengonfirmasi bahwa fee percepatan US$2.000 per jemaah yang disebut jaksa KPK bukan arahan langsung dari Yaqut, melainkan pesan dari Staf Khususnya, Gus Alex, terkait PIHK agar tidak mengambil keuntungan berlebihan. Kedua saksi dihadirkan untuk empat terdakwa, termasuk Yaqut, Gus Alex, Ismail Adham, dan Asrul Azis Taba.
