Previously, police had named Ahmad Syah Farhan, the CEO of Hanania Group, as a suspect in the case on May 29. Farhan has since been detained. The investigation revealed that funds collected from prospective pilgrims were allegedly used for purposes unrelated to organizing the umrah trips. Furthermore, the suspect reportedly used some of these funds to pay influencers for promoting the travel packages.

This case has seen several other public figures, including Thariq Halilintar and his wife Aaliyah, Paula Verhoeven, Praz Teguh, Roger Danuarta, and his wife Cut Meyriska, previously questioned by investigators. The charges against Farhan include violations of the Indonesian Criminal Code concerning fraud and embezzlement.

The person concerned was present at the Sub-directorate of State Security at Polda Metro Jaya at 13:00 WIB and is currently still undergoing examination by investigators.
