The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named Muhammad Haniv as a suspect in the alleged receipt of gratuities. The former official of the Directorate General of Taxes allegedly received Rp804 million which his son then used to hold a fashion show.

KPK Director of Investigation Asep Guntur Rahayu explained that this case began when Haniv served as Head of the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes for Special Jakarta in 2016.

He allegedly ordered Yul Dirga, who was caught in a case at the KPK, to look for sponsors so that his son's FH POUR HOME by Feby Haniv fashion show can hold fashion shows.

"The suspect HNV is suspected of having committed acts related to his position and contrary to his duties obligations by using his influence and connection for the benefit of himself and his son's efforts," Asep told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, February 25.

To Yul, Haniv asked to find several companies that wanted to sponsor on December 5, 2016. The proposal was submitted by including the BRI account number and Feby's cellphone number with a request of IDR 150 million.

This request was then followed up by a company that became a taxpayer until finally collected Rp804 million. These companies stated that they did not benefit from providing sponsorship money for fashion shows or not getting exposure or other benefits," said Asep.

In addition, Haniv also received several times from other parties. For example, Budi Satria Atmadi used a deposit in the name of another person worth Rp. 10,347,010,000 and when disbursed it reached Rp. 14,088,834,634.

So that the total receipts made by Haniv are said by the KPK to reach Rp. 21,560,840,634. He has not been detained because investigators are still looking for evidence.

"Detention has not been carried out. The focus of the investigation at this time is to collect and complete evidence, examine witnesses and carry out asset tracing of HNV suspects," concluded Asep.
