KPK detains former tax office head Haniv in Rp20.7 billion graft case
Detention runs for 20 days until Sept. 7, 2026, after investigators traced taxpayer money flowing to the suspect’s child’s business.
KPK detained former Head of the Special Jakarta Directorate General of Taxes Regional Office Muhammad Haniv on Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2026, in a case involving alleged graft worth Rp20.7 billion. Acting KPK Director of Investigations Achmad Taufik Husein said the initial detention period lasts 20 days until Sept. 7, 2026, at the KPK Merah Putih Building branch detention center.
According to KPK, Haniv is suspected of receiving gratuities from several companies while serving at DJP, including Rp700 million to support his child’s fashion show. In 2016, he was said to have sent an email to subordinates asking them to seek sponsorship from taxpayer companies; the funds then went directly into his child’s bank account. KPK is also tracing other receipts in foreign currency and BPR time deposits. Haniv was charged under Article 12B of the Anti-Corruption Law.
