Hanania Travel Director Detained Over Alleged Umrah Fraud Causing Rp12.1bn Loss

Polda Metro Jaya has detained the Director of PT Khazanah Tamma Internasional, identified as ASF, over allegations of fraud and/or embezzlement in Umrah travel packages involving the Hanania Group. The detention followed ASF’s formal designation as a suspect in the case. The case has drawn attention due to hundreds of reported victims and total losses amounting to billions of rupiah. Police Chief of Public Relations for Polda Metro Jaya, Senior Commissioner Budi Hermanto, stated that the force has received two police reports regarding alleged Umrah travel fraud. One report was filed by a complainant identified as JSP, listing approximately 128 victims with reported losses of around Rp12.145 billion. ‘For the JSP report, the case has moved to the investigation stage. Investigators have examined 33 witnesses from the complainants and registered victims,’ said Budi. Based on the investigation and witness testimonies, victims had paid for Umrah packages to Hanania Group but were not dispatched as promised. Investigators formally named ASF as a suspect on May 29, 2026. ‘ASF was named a suspect on May 29, 2026. He was subsequently detained at the Polda Metro Jaya Directorate of Detention and Evidence,’ he said. Investigators are currently finalising the case file by gathering evidence, including witness and suspect statements. Police are also probing whether others may have been involved. In addition to the JSP report, Polda Metro Jaya received another complaint from a person identified as NN, where the victim reported paying for Umrah packages for two people worth approximately Rp78.8 million. However, as with previous reports, the promised Umrah departures never materialised. This case remains under investigation. The suspect faces charges of fraud and/or embezzlement, as well as money laundering (TPPU), under Articles 492, 486, and 607 of the 2023 Criminal Code (KUHP).
