The CEO of PT Khazanah Tamma Internasional, also known as Hanania Group, has been named a suspect in a large-scale umrah travel fraud case. Ahmad Syah Farhan (ASF) was detained by the Metro Jaya Regional Police following an investigation into allegations of fraud and embezzlement of umrah travel funds.

Police spokesperson Commissioner Budi Hermanto confirmed that ASF was named a suspect on May 29, 2026, and subsequently detained. The investigation is ongoing, with police working to complete the case file, gather witness testimonies, and collect supporting evidence. Authorities are also exploring the possibility of other individuals being involved in the scheme.

So far, police have received two reports related to the case. One report, filed by a complainant identified as JSP, involves 128 victims and an estimated loss of 12.145 billion Indonesian Rupiah (approximately $750,000 USD). The investigation into this report has progressed to the penyidikan (investigation) stage, with 33 witnesses interviewed.

Victims in this report had paid for umrah packages through Hanania Group but were not sent on the pilgrimage as scheduled. Another report, from complainant NN, concerns a payment of approximately 78.8 million Indonesian Rupiah ($5,200 USD) for two individuals who also did not travel as promised. This case is still in the preliminary investigation phase.

ASF faces charges related to fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering under Indonesian law. The Metro Jaya Regional Police have established a complaint post for victims of Hanania Group's alleged fraud, urging those affected to come forward with their documentation.
