Police Seize Assets in Hanania Travel Umrah Fraud Case

Investigators from Polda Metro Jaya have seized a number of assets related to the alleged fraud and embezzlement of umrah travel funds by PT Khazanah Tamma Internasional, also known as Hanania Group. “As a result of the asset tracing carried out by investigators, there are several assets that we have partially seized. There are also several assets that we have secured in several regions,” said Polda Metro Jaya Director of General Criminal Investigation, Senior Commissioner Iman Imanuddin, to reporters on Tuesday (30/6). Iman revealed that the seized assets are not only in the name of Ahmad Syah Farhan, the President Director of Hanania Group who is currently a suspect, but also in the names of other individuals. “The seized assets include movable and immovable assets. There is land, buildings, and also vehicles,” he said. Iman stated that his party is continuing to trace other assets linked to Hanania Travel, as these assets will later be used to return the losses suffered by the victims. “Hopefully, this can be one of our efforts to recover the victims’ losses, or can be used by the victims to reduce their losses, or even our hope is that it could be one of the efforts to send the victims back,” he said. Previously, police named the President Director of PT Khazanah Tamma Internasional, Ahmad Syah Farhan, as a suspect in the alleged fraud and embezzlement of umrah travel funds on Friday (29/5). Farhan has now been detained. In this case, Farhan is charged under Article 492 of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code and/or Article 486 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 607 of the Criminal Code. From the preliminary investigation, it was revealed that the money deposited by prospective pilgrims was used for purposes outside the process of dispatching the pilgrims. In addition, the money was also used by the suspect to pay a number of influencers for the promotion of umrah packages. A number of influencers and celebrities are also known to have been questioned in this case, including Keanu Angelo, the couple Thariq Halilintar and Aaliyah Massaid, the couple Roger Danuarta and Cut Meyriska, Paula Verhoeven, and Praz Teguh.
