KPK Extends Mohamad Haniv's Detention in Tax Gratuification Case
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has extended the detention of Mohamad Haniv, alias Muhamad Haniv, who served as Head of the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes (Kanwil DJP) for Banten Province (2011) and Head of the Special Jakarta Regional DJP Office (2015-2018), for a further 40 days.
The extension was carried out because the investigation team still needs time to complete the case file for the alleged corruption involving the receipt of gratuities that has ensnared Haniv.
“That is correct, today investigators extended the detention of the suspect MH [Mohamad Haniv] in a case of alleged corruption involving gratuities he received as an official of the Directorate General of Taxes from several parties,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo when contacted via written message on Monday (7/9).
“This first detention extension is for the next 40 days, effective from 8 September 2026,” he continued.
On Wednesday, 19 August 2026, the KPK held a press conference to present the full construction of the case against Haniv.
During his tenure as Head of the Special Jakarta Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes, the KPK stated that Haniv is suspected of committing acts related to his position and contrary to his official duties by using his influence and connections for his own benefit and that of his child’s business.
In 2016, Haniv sent an electronic mail (email) to his subordinate (a Head of Office) requesting sponsorship for a fashion show in the name of his child (FP).
The request was directed at several companies in Jakarta and outside Jakarta that were registered taxpayers (WP).
In response to the request, the companies concerned sent sponsorship money directly to the account of Haniv’s child.
The total money received from several Jakarta taxpayer companies reached approximately Rp400 million, while companies outside Jakarta contributed roughly Rp300 million.
Furthermore, during the period 2014-2022, Haniv is also suspected of receiving other payments, or gratuities, from several parties in the form of foreign currency through an intermediary, identified as BSA.
Haniv is then suspected of placing the money in time deposit instruments worth Rp10 billion.
In addition, during the period 2013-2018, Haniv is also suspected of receiving gratuities in the form of foreign currency from several parties or companies, which were exchanged at various money changers with a total value of Rp10 billion.
“The total gratuities received by HNV [Haniv] from these companies amount to at least Rp20.7 billion,” the KPK revealed.
Haniv is charged under Article 12 B of the Law on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption (Anti-Corruption Law).
