Actress Hana Hanifah Summoned Again in Riau DPRD Corruption Case
Investigation Uncovers Thousands of Fake Travel Orders, Millions in Suspicious Funds
Sparkling city lights and red carpets seem worlds away from a sprawling complex in Citra Plaza Nagoya, Batam, where authorities recently seized four luxury apartments. These properties are now at the center of a corruption investigation targeting the Riau Provincial Legislative Council (DPRD), with well-known actress Hana Hanifah’s name increasingly entangled in the scandal.
While millions of rupiah in suspicious funds have flowed through Hanifah’s accounts since November 2021, Riau Police officials have clarified that the source of those funds wasn’t Muflihun, the former Acting Mayor of Pekanbaru, who also served as acting secretary of the Riau DPRD in 2020 and 2021. This revelation adds another layer to the complexity of the case, raising questions about who else might have been involved in the alleged scheme.
“Hana Hanifah will be summoned again for further questioning to clarify the flow of funds she received and the evidence in the case,” said Kombes Anom Karibianto, Riau Police Public Relations Head. “The money didn’t come from Muflihun, but from someone working at the Riau DPRD Secretariat.”
The saga unfolds amid allegations of widespread corruption WITHIN the Riau DPRD Secretariat, where investigators have uncovered a shocking discovery: thousands of fraudulent travel orders and a staggering 35,836 fake flight tickets dating back to 2020 and 2021. This revelation is particularly striking given that commercial flights during that period were severely hampered due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Missed Summons Raises Concerns
Adding to the intrigue surrounding Hanifah’s involvement is her absence from the first summons issued by investigators on December 5, 2024. She provided no explanation for missing the meeting, further fueling speculation about her potential role in the unfolding drama.
From Preliminary Inquiry to Formal Investigation
The Riau DPRD corruption case has officially traversed from the preliminary inquiry phase to a full-fledged formal investigation. This shift signals a more serious commitment from authorities to unravel the intricate web of alleged financial misconduct.
Authorities believe that the ill-gotten gains from the fake travel scheme were laundered through various channels. Among the seized assets are the four apartments in Batam, one of which is directly linked to Muflihun. This connection further solidifies the former acting secretary’s entanglement in the scandal, blurring the lines between his official duties within the DPRD and potential involvement in financial impropriety.
The Riau DPRD corruption investigation continues to make headlines, captivating the public with its unexpected twists and revelations. As the probe deepens, authorities are determined to shed light on the extent of the alleged scheme and hold those responsible accountable for their actions. The fate of Hana Hanifah, Muflihun, and others implicated in the case remains uncertain, heavily dependent on the unraveling of this complex financial puzzle.
