Hana Hanifah Allegedly Received Funds from the Corruption Case of Fictitious Travel Orders, Lawyer: My Client is a Victim

"Hana's position is that of a victim, a victim of news and a victim of ignorance," said Acong at the Riau Police recently.

Acong explained that Hana did indeed receive a sum of money from a man with the initials M. However, according to him, the money was given based on a personal relationship between Hana and M.  

"Hana is in a relationship, given gifts or money because there is indeed a relationship, the man's responsibility towards the woman in terms of clothing and food," said Acong.

Nevertheless, Acong emphasized that Hana never knew the source of the funds given by M. He believes M should have been honest with Hana about the origin of the money.   "How could she ask where it came from, it’s actually M who is not straightforward and tends to lie to Hana," he added.

Hana Hanifah herself has undergone questioning at the Subdirectorate III of the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate (Ditreskrimsus) of the Riau Police on Thursday (5/12/2025). The questioning, which lasted for 9 hours, was conducted to confirm the alleged flow of funds from the fictitious SPPD corruption case.

The Head of Public Relations of the Riau Police, Kombes Pol Anom Karbianto, explained that Hana is being examined as a witness. According to him, the investigators are tracing evidence that indicates a large flow of funds allegedly received by Hana.

"There is suspicion of a flow of funds from the case that goes to the witness. The amount is hundreds of millions. This is still being confirmed because the examination has not yet completed for several individuals, so they will be scheduled again for the next examination," Anom explained.  

According to Anom, the funds received by Hana started flowing since November 2021 with varying transfer amounts. Investigators are also still delving into the identities of the parties providing those funds.   "So the flow of funds is still being confirmed, not just once, from someone in the Riau DPRD Secretariat," he added.

Acong hopes that this case does not lead to accusations that harm his client. He emphasizes that Hana has provided information cooperatively to the investigators to assist in the disclosure of the case.
