Jakarta police have revealed that Hanania Travel Group faced issues as early as 2023, preceding recent fraud allegations. These findings emerged following reports filed by pilgrims in May 2026, accusing the company of defrauding customers and misappropriating funds related to umrah (Islamic pilgrimage) travel packages. The police investigation indicates the problems were ongoing for an extended period before the recent complaints. Authorities are currently investigating the claims of financial misconduct and potential deception of prospective pilgrims. The scale of the alleged fraud and the number of affected individuals are currently under assessment. This case highlights potential risks associated with unregulated travel agencies offering religious pilgrimage packages. Further details are expected as the investigation progresses.
