Metro Police Trace Hanania Group Assets to Recover Congregants' Losses
Jakarta - The General Criminal Investigation Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya is prioritising the tracing of assets belonging to PT Khazanah Tamma International, also known as Hanania Group, and its managing director in order to recover the losses of victims in an alleged investment and Umrah travel fraud case. “We are in the process of tracing the assets owned by the company or by the owner, as well as tracing the flow of funds to other parties,” said the Director of General Criminal Investigation at Polda Metro Jaya, Commissioner Iman Imanuddin, during a press conference in Jakarta on Tuesday. Iman explained that this is being done as part of efforts to compensate the victims for their losses. “We are certainly doing this in the context of efforts to return the losses experienced by the victims,” he said. The Polda Metro Jaya Criminal Investigation Directorate asserted its readiness to thoroughly investigate the flow of funds in the alleged investment and Umrah travel fraud case carried out by PT Hasanah Tamma Internasional, or Hanania Group. Commissioner Iman Imanuddin stated that police are now targeting several parties who benefited from the congregants’ funds, ranging from promotions by well-known celebrities to the tracing of assets belonging to the main suspect in order to recover the victims’ losses. “Some of the money used was spent on interests outside of the congregants’ Umrah journeys, and some was also used to pay influencers for marketing purposes,” said Iman. He also mentioned that investigators will request statements from several Instagram celebrities or influencers who are suspected of having promoted the travel agency. “We will, of course, also take statements from the Instagram celebrities who participated in providing or becoming marketing for offering several Umrah packages promoted by PT Hasanah Tama Internasional or Hanania Group,” said Iman.
