Actress Davina Karamoy has completed her examination by Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Police investigators in connection with the Hanania Travel umrah and hajj fraud case. Davina was questioned for approximately six hours. “Alhamdulillah, it went smoothly inside. There were several questions and all have been answered, it is finished,” Davina said at the Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Police headquarters on Thursday (18/6/2026). Davina did not deny that she received a travel allowance from Hanania Travel for the umrah trip. However, Davina admitted she has already returned the allowance. “Same as the others, and indeed I received a travel allowance. The allowance has also been returned,” she said. Davina explained she was first contacted by Hanania. She became interested after seeing fellow public figures who had previously undertaken umrah trips in cooperation with Hanania Travel. “Then I was offered, given Hanania’s Instagram, and I looked at their Instagram and indeed saw many reviews. Several artist friends had also been dispatched before me. So at that time, the timing was also right in September when I wanted to perform umrah, so we eventually entered into a cooperation after that,” she explained. “This is also a lesson for me to be more self-aware and more careful,” she added. Davina’s legal counsel, Yulius Irawansyah, added that a total of 30 questions were posed by Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Police investigators during today’s examination. Investigators, according to Yulius, delved into his client’s endorsement with Hanania Travel. He explained that his client had intended to undertake a pilgrimage to the holy land since 2024. Hanania then contacted his client to offer an umrah travel cooperation. “Because she already had the intention to go, she eventually departed in 2024. Then in 2025, we departed again, in that instance, we departed with family. But I underline, our departure in 2025 was paid for. It was paid, and the amount we paid for several people was Rp 233,800,000. So, that means there was a payment from us for that departure,” he added. Yulius stated he is ready to be transparent with the police regarding the investigation of the case. He also denied that his client promoted Hanania Travel’s business. “We never promoted it because our departure contract stated that we only did daily stories. So the journey during the umrah worship, that is what my client made and posted on her Instagram without promoting Hanania’s position,” he said. Furthermore, Yulius denied that his client invested in Hanania Travel. He also confirmed that his client was given a travel allowance of Rp 10 million when departing for umrah and that it has been returned. “Indeed we were given a travel allowance, not paid in this context, which was Rp 10 million per departure. But earlier, with full awareness, we have returned that allowance,” he stated. It is known that a number of influencers have been examined by the Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Police in connection with this case. They include Keanu Angelo, comedian Praz Teguh, Paula Verhoeven, the couple Aaliyah Massaid and Thariq Halilintar, Dara Arafah, and other influencers. The police have named Hanania Travel boss Ahmad Syah Farhan, or ASF, as a suspect. He is charged with alleged fraud and/or embezzlement and/or money laundering as referred to in Article 492 of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code and/or Article 486 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 607 of the Criminal Code.
