Wika Salim Allegedly Lost Billions Of Rupiah Due To Alleged Embezzlement Of Money From Management Personnel

JAKARTA - Dangdut singer Wika Salim is suspected of being a victim of embezzlement by his own management. Sandy Arifin, Wika Salim's attorney, said that the loss suffered by his client was the same as the content of Fujianti Utami alias Fuji's creator, which reached Rp1.3 M.

"(The case) It's the same as what happened when I was with my client Fuji. (The loss) is almost the same as yesterday," said Sandy Arifin at Polda Metro Jaya, Wednesday, December 4.

On the same occasion, Wika said that the money allegedly embezzled was quite a lot for him to see the long term of work contracts.

Not to mention that the money not only belonged to Wika personally but also to the employees who worked with him.

"Yes, what is certain is that it's not small because the time period is also not short and it's also not just mine. So, there are some of my workers too, my crew and I also have embezzled funds like that," said Wika Salim.

Wika admitted that he was shocked when he first learned about this incident, so he couldn't talk much and just cried.

"Oh, yes, this actually happened a week ago, I'm definitely shocked, I can't talk much because Wika is disappointed, right," he explained.

"I mean I also work for the family, and the person concerned also knows that how did I struggle here. That's why I'm more like a shock, I didn't think how could I really have the heart?" he said.
