Anniesa Hasibuan (born 1986) is an Indonesian fraudster.
Born in Jakarta, she opened her first boutique in Kemang in early 2015.[1] She made her fashion debut in London in March 2015 and has travelled to Europe and the United States to showcase her work.[2][3] In September 2016, at her debut show at New York Fashion Week, her collection featured the hijab in every look.[4][5] However, it has been indicated that she had paid a fortune so that her work could be featured during the fashion week.[6] Later she was arrested together with her husband after the revelation that her company "First Travel" had committed a hajj scam by using the Ponzi scheme.[7]
On 30 May 2018, Hasibuan was jailed for 18 years for fraud, after prosecutors found she had embezzled 848 billion rupiah (US$60 million) paid by customers to organize pilgrimages that never took place. Her husband was jailed for twenty years and they both received a 10 billion rupiah fine.[8]
