Meeting: Tania accompanies Jackson, allegedly during the signing of a land transfer agreement.
MANGUPURA, Badung, Bali, January 15, 2026 – WorldWartaGlobal – A French national, Hafedh, has spoken out publicly. He firmly denied allegations of unlawfully entering another person’s property, committing physical violence, and issuing threats against a couple in front of their infant at a villa in Kerobokan, Badung, Bali, on Saturday, August 2, 2025, at around 2:00 p.m. Central Indonesia Time (WITA), as reported by various media outlets in Bali, Indonesia.
In a written statement received by WorldWartaGlobal, Hafedh stated that the circulating narrative is baseless, misleading, and entirely inconsistent with the facts. He presented his own version of the chronology, beginning with the background of a business relationship and continuing through the sequence of events before and after the incident, up to the point when QAAS, also known as Kurtis, was detained by police.
Hafedh explained that the incident cannot be separated from an ongoing property business dispute in Bali involving Kurtis and a couple, Jackson Hemi McKinnon Love from Australia and Tania Chiariello from Italy. In this business arrangement, Kurtis allegedly held leasehold rights over several parcels of land and villas managed by Jackson through PT Kool Love Konsept.
Over time, Kurtis reportedly became concerned after receiving information that these assets were going to be transferred to another party named Zach without his knowledge. “Kurtis had repeatedly sought clarification and the restoration of his rights, but received no response from Tania and Jackson,” Hafedh said in his written statement on Wednesday (January 14, 2026).
Hafedh claimed that he accompanied Kurtis to the villa after Dylan, a housemate of Jackson and Tania, invited them to meet. The villa in question was in fact one of Kurtis’ leasehold properties, leased under the name of PT Kool Love Konsept. They arrived together with one staff member the following day, Saturday, August 2, 2025. However, upon arrival, the situation allegedly escalated immediately. Hafedh claimed that Jackson acted aggressively and pushed him several times toward a glass window.
“I did not retaliate at all. I only asked him to stop,” Hafedh emphasized. He stated that he only then became aware of the presence of a toddler at the location. For the child’s safety amid Jackson’s outburst, Hafedh asked a woman to take the baby out of the room. The tension continued until Hafedh was pushed again, causing the glass window to shatter.
At the same time, Hafedh alleged that Tania issued verbal threats, referring to an alleged criminal history and prior imprisonment in Sydney. “Listen. I spent one and a half years in prison in Sydney. You don’t know who you are dealing with,” Hafedh wrote, quoting the threatening tone. Nevertheless, he said he did not respond to the threat and only urged the couple to calm down.
The situation eventually subsided, and it was agreed that a follow-up meeting would be held peacefully. At the next separate meeting, Tania reportedly came alone to meet Kurtis. Hafedh attended with a female friend.
On that occasion, according to Hafedh, Tania confided that Jackson had previously worked as a driver who helped Tania and her former partner, Matteo, flee Australia via Brisbane. Jackson allegedly also assisted them in leaving Australia using forged passports belonging to other individuals. Tania reportedly passed immigration checks at the airport, while Matteo did not. As a result, Tania turned herself in. She and Matteo served prison sentences of one and a half years in Australia in connection with narcotics offenses. In short, Tania is now allegedly in a relationship with Jackson.
The third meeting took place at Hafedh’s residence, witnessed by Kurtis and Hafedh’s partner. The location was equipped with surveillance cameras, and all discussions were recorded on video. During that meeting, the parties discussed the settlement of Kurtis’ financial rights over the villa occupied by Tania and Jackson. Hafedh stated that an amount exceeding one hundred thousand was agreed upon, written down, and signed directly by Tania in the presence of the parties.
“I am keeping copies of the documents and video recordings as evidence,” he said. Not long after that meeting, Hafedh and his female companion traveled to Sydney. There, they investigated Tania’s background to verify the stories she had previously conveyed. From this investigation, Hafedh claimed to have obtained several pieces of information.
According to Hafedh, Tania had allegedly previously worked as a sex worker in Sydney under the name “La Mia Diamond,” and allegedly had no background or experience in the property sector. Combined with media coverage in Bali, Indonesia, regarding the events of August 2, 2025, this, in his view, strengthened suspicions of fabrication. He alleged that there was a systematic effort to damage the reputations of Kurtis and Hafedh in order to seize assets that did not belong to the couple.
He also mentioned alleged money laundering activities involving several individuals. This operation was allegedly assisted by a person previously named by Kurtis during police questioning, namely a woman of French origin who also holds Australian citizenship, Megann Elise Isabelle Augier.
Based on information obtained by Hafedh, Megan was allegedly previously employed as a strip dancer and involved in drug trafficking and other criminal activities in Sydney alongside an individual named Paul A. Wheeler. Christina P. and Mohamed S. were also allegedly involved. Mohamed S. was reportedly deported from Bali due to criminal acts he committed. Hafedh claimed to possess all physical evidence of Mohamed S.’s criminal activities in Australia.
A group of individuals mentioned above, including Megan’s new partner, Eoin O’R., allegedly acted in coordination with a former member of the criminal gang HA, as well as one sergeant and two active-duty constables from the Bondi Police in Australia. Based on available information and evidence, after these facts began to surface, law enforcement officers and associated legal counsel allegedly deliberately and unlawfully refused to hand over case materials and evidentiary files to the legally appointed legal representatives of the authorized organization.
This refusal allegedly included crucial evidence, such as DNA evidence related to Paul Adam W., an individual suspected of involvement in criminal activity and case fabrication in Sydney. These actions were deemed to constitute a systematic attempt to obstruct justice and an abuse of authority by parties who are obligated to uphold the rule of law.
The party issuing this statement emphasized that all assertions are supported by documents, electronic records, and other relevant supporting materials. To date, these pieces of evidence are being preserved for legal proceedings and will be submitted through the appropriate official channels. The full identities of the officers involved and the extent of their involvement will be disclosed to the public at the appropriate time, in line with the progress of legal proceedings and in the interest of transparency and accountability.
Furthermore, Hafedh claimed to have received further threats. Tania allegedly contacted Hafedh’s agent in Australia with unfounded accusations of extortion, despite previously having Hafedh’s contact number, which was later blocked. Additionally, one day prior to Kurtis’ arrest, Hafedh claimed he was contacted and spoke with Kurtis. In that conversation, Kurtis allegedly received direct threats from Tania, as well as from other parties residing in Bali.
Kurtis reportedly conveyed that Tania directly threatened him. “Just wait and see what I will do to you,” Hafedh said, quoting Kurtis. Previously, Kurtis had also received similar threats from another woman living in Bali named Tatiana. Hafedh stated that he still retains those messages as evidence.
Hafedh reaffirmed that all clarifications he provided are supported by documentary evidence and electronic records. “I reject the false narrative portraying me as a perpetrator of violence or threats. These accusations are baseless and misleading,” he asserted. He added that allegations of involvement by a broader network and other individuals fall within the jurisdiction of law enforcement authorities, not public speculation. “Let the facts be tested through a fair and objective legal process,” Hafedh concluded.
