JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has asked the Directorate General of Immigration to prevent Mohamad Haniv from leaving the country for six months. This step was taken after the former official of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance was named a suspect in receiving gratuities.

"The investigators have carried out the prohibition of traveling abroad because the whereabouts of the person concerned in Indonesian territory are needed in the context of the investigation process," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, February 25.

Tessa said the request to the Directorate General of Immigration was made through Decree Number 109 of 2025 concerning the prohibition of traveling. This prevention is carried out based on an investigation warrant (sprindik) signed by the leadership on February 12.

"The investigation process is currently underway," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK has named former Directorate General of Taxes Muhammad Haniv as a suspect in the alleged receipt of gratuities amounting to Rp21,560,840,634.

Of this amount, as much as Rp804 million is intended to sponsor the fashion show of his son's men's clothing brand, FH Pour Homme by Feby Haniv.

In addition, Haniv is suspected of receiving other gratuities in the form of foreign currency worth Rp. 6,665,006,000 and placements in BPR deposits of Rp. 14,088,834,634. So that the total is Rp. 21,560,840,634.

Although it has been announced as a suspect, Haniv has not yet been detained by the KPK. Currently, the KPK is focused on collecting evidence and examining witnesses as well as conducting asset tracing or searching for assets from the proceeds of crimes committed.
