Social media influencer Muhammad Miftahuda, popularly known as Keanu Angelo, was subjected to 28 questions during his examination as a witness regarding the alleged Umrah fraud case involving PT Khazaness Tamma International, also known as the Hanania Group. The Head of Public Relations for the Metro Jaya Regional Police, Kombes Pol Budi Hermanto, stated that the examination of the prominent digital content creator lasted six hours.

“It is true that on Monday, 8 June 2026, investigators examined Keanu Angelo, alias Muhammad Miftahuda, as a witness related to the PT Khazanah Tamma International/Hanania Group Umrah case. The examination took place from 10:00 WIB to 16:00 WIB, accompanied by legal counsel,” he said in a statement in Jakarta on Monday.

According to Budi, the focus of the dozens of questions posed by the investigative team was to deepen the investigation into the influencer’s involvement in promoting the Umrah travel agency. “During the examination, investigators posed 28 questions which primarily explored endorsement collaborations, contracts, facilities, payments, and the legality of the travel agency,” he added.

Budi further noted that several other prominent influencers were scheduled for questioning on the same day, though most failed to respond to the summons. Names scheduled included Sara Gibson (SG), Audrey Jesselyn (AJ), Dara Arafah (DA), and Karin Novilda (KN). “Three influencers (SG, AJ, and DA) have not yet appeared and are rescheduled for examination on 12 June 2026. Meanwhile, Karin Novilda (KN) did not attend without explanation,” Budi said.

Keanu Angelo, accompanied by his legal counsel, left the Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Metro Jaya Regional Police at approximately 15:03 WIB. He asserted that his involvement with the Hanania Group was strictly a barter-based promotional arrangement rather than a cash-based endorsement. “I explained during the examination that I did not receive any endorsement money from Hanania at all. My collaboration was a barter system,” he stated when met in Jakarta.

Meanwhile, the General Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Metro Jaya Regional Police has affirmed its commitment to fully investigating the alleged investment and Umrah travel fraud involving PT Khazanah Tamma International. The Director of General Criminal Investigation, Kombes Pol Iman Imanuddin, stated that police are now targeting several parties who received funds from the pilgrims, ranging from promotions by famous influencers to the tracing of assets belonging to the main suspect to recover losses for the victims. “The funds used were partially diverted for purposes outside of the pilgrims’ Umrah trips, and partially used to pay influencers for marketing purposes,” Iman said.
