The investigators are extending the detention of suspect MH, Mohamad Haniv, in the alleged corruption case involving gratification he received as a Directorate General of Taxes employee from several parties.

The commission says Haniv used his influence and connections for personal interests and his child’s business. In 2016, while leading the Jakarta Special Regional Tax Office, he allegedly emailed subordinate office heads asking them to find sponsors for a fashion show held in his daughter’s name. Several taxpayer companies in Jakarta and elsewhere allegedly sent sponsorship payments directly to his daughter’s account. The Jakarta companies contributed about 400 million rupiah, while companies outside Jakarta contributed about 300 million rupiah.

The first extension is for the next 40 days, starting on September 8, 2026.

The KPK also alleges that Haniv received other gratification in foreign currency through an intermediary between 2014 and 2022. He allegedly placed 10 billion rupiah of that money into deposit instruments. Between 2013 and 2018, he allegedly received additional foreign-currency gratification from parties and companies, which was exchanged through several money changers for a total of 10 billion rupiah.

The commission said the total alleged gratification from various companies reached at least 20.7 billion rupiah. Haniv faces charges under Article 12B of Indonesia’s Anti-Corruption Law.
