Rully Anggi Akbar Denies Tricking and Blackmailing Rp300 Million Investment Funds

JAKARTA - Boiyen's husband, Rully Anggi Akbar, finally spoke up regarding the allegations of fraud and embezzlement of Rp300 million investment funds that dragged his name on one of his culinary businesses, Sateman Indonesia, with an investor named Rio alias RF.

Rully's lawyer, Ben Zebua, explained that Rio's party only gave his client an investment of Rp. 200 million. The money itself has been processed by Rully for several restaurant needs such as land rental for two years and building construction.

"Finally, on August 22, 2023, this agreement was issued. Well, what the reporter handed over was only Rp200 million friends. Not like what was reported Rp300 to Rp400 million. So Rp200 million was used for operations such as land rental, then members' salaries and others," said Ben Zebua in Central Jakarta, Wednesday, January 14.

Claiming to have evidence of a business cooperation agreement with Rio, Ben firmly denied that his client had committed fraud and embezzlement as previously alleged.

"So there is no fraud and embezzlement as reported or developed in the media," he said.

Furthermore, Rully's legal team, Husor Hutasoit, explained that the investment agreement between Rully and Rio itself is still valid until 2028 and will be returned if before the investment deadline Rully and Rio cancel the agreement.

"And this is actually based on a notary deed that we have shown, this is still valid until 2028," continued Husor.

"That in the agreement it is also stated that this investment is returned if Mas Ezel or Mas Rully cancels the agreement after 2028," he said.

For information, this case started from an investment of IDR 200 million for a culinary business owned by Rully Anggi Akbar. However, after four months, the promised profit sharing of IDR 6 million per month was total.
