Influencer Karin Novilda, known as Awkarin, was questioned by Polda Metro Jaya police on Tuesday over alleged fraud involving Umrah funds at Hanania Group. She expressed full support for victims and returned pocket money received.
Awkarin stated that she was not part of the Umrah travel organizers. She came to clarify facts and cooperate with police so victims can recover their rights and obtain justice.
In her statement, Awkarin said she was unaware of any fund flows from pilgrims for endorsement purposes. She chose to leave the process to investigators.
Lawyer Artahsasta said his client returned the pocket money to investigators for seizure. Awkarin's cooperation with Hanania Travel took the form of a barter involving Umrah facilities in exchange for 12 Instagram posts.
