Jakarta, Bungkus.biz.id – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that former Head of the Jakarta Special Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) for the 2015-2018 period, Muhamad Haniv (HNV), received illicit gratification related to his position. Part of the funds was allegedly used to support his son’s fashion show event.

Haniv has been charged under Article 12 B of Law No. 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes (Tipikor Law). He is suspected of abusing his influence for personal gain.

Sponsorship Request for Fashion Show

“While serving as Head of the Jakarta Special Regional Tax Office, the suspect HNV allegedly engaged in activities related to his position that were contrary to his duties by using his influence and connections for his own benefit and that of his son’s business,” said KPK Director of Investigation, Asep Guntur, at the KPK’s Red and White Building in Jakarta on Tuesday (February 25, 2025).

Haniv’s son, identified by the initials FP, owns a men’s fashion brand named FH Pour Homme by Febby Haniv (FH) based at Victoria Residence, Karawaci, since 2015. According to Asep, Haniv sent an email on December 5, 2016, to the head of the Foreign Investment Tax Service Office 3, YD, requesting sponsorship for a fashion show scheduled for December 13, 2016.

“The email contained a request to secure sponsorship for the FH Pour Homme by FH fashion show, set to take place on December 13, 2016. The request was directed only to two or three well-connected companies,” Asep revealed.

Flow of Funds Linked to Fashion Show

Between 2016 and 2017, funds amounting to Rp 387 million were transferred to an account linked to the FH Pour Homme fashion show. These funds reportedly came from corporate or individual taxpayers registered with the Jakarta Special Tax Office. An additional Rp 417 million was received from sources outside the taxpayer registry of the Jakarta Special Tax Office.

“The total gratification received in the form of sponsorships for the fashion show amounts to Rp 804 million. The companies involved stated they did not receive any benefits from providing sponsorship funds for the event,” said Asep.

Additional Allegations of Gratification

Beyond the fashion show sponsorships, KPK has detected other suspicious financial transactions linked to Haniv, bringing the total suspected gratification to billions of rupiah.

“HNV is suspected of committing corruption in the form of receiving Rp 804 million for the fashion show, additional foreign exchange receipts amounting to Rp 6.6 billion, and placing funds in rural bank (BPR) deposits worth Rp 14.08 billion. The total suspected illegal proceeds amount to at least Rp 21.5 billion,” Asep stated.

Investigation Ongoing

As of now, KPK has not yet detained Haniv. The anti-corruption agency continues to gather and complete various pieces of evidence, including tracing Haniv’s assets in connection with the alleged gratification case.

The investigation is ongoing as KPK seeks to uncover the full extent of the financial irregularities involving the former high-ranking tax official.
