Hanania Group Suspect Charged with Embezzlement

The suspect in the PT Khazanah Tamma Internasional, also known as Hanania Group, Umrah travel case, identified as ASFR (30), will be charged with alleged embezzlement by the Jakarta Metropolitan Police.

Jakarta Metropolitan Police Head of Public Relations, Kombes Pol Budi Hermanto, explained that while three articles of the Criminal Code are suspected to have been violated, the police are currently focusing on one specific charge. “The offences include fraud under Article 492 of the Criminal Code, alleged embezzlement as referred to in Article 486, and alleged Money Laundering (TPPU) under Article 607,” Budi stated on Wednesday (3/6).

Following investigations and case reviews, Budi added that the suspect, who also serves as the President Director of Hanania Group, is suspected of embezzling funds, an allegation supported by available evidence. Other charges listed in the police report remain under investigation by detectives. Investigators will continue to interview witnesses and examine documents and fund flows to strengthen the evidence. “If facts or evidence are found to support other alleged criminal acts, including money laundering, the charges may expand,” Budi noted.

The President Director of PT Khazanah Tamma Internasional, ASF, has been detained by the Jakarta Metropolitan Police. The case originated from allegations of fraud and embezzlement related to Umrah pilgrimage travel, with total losses reaching Rp12.14 billion. ASF was officially named a suspect on Friday (29/5). Additionally, items suspected of being embezzled include a 2023 white Daihatsu Blind Van NBO. To date, 205 victims have appointed legal counsel to represent them in the case.
