Raffi Ahmad finally opened his voice regarding the many netizens who called himself the figure behind the artist with the initials R who was involved in money laundering by former officials of the Directorate General of Taxes, Rafael Alun Trisambodo.

The husband of Nagita Slavina admitted that he was tired of being linked to the case involving Mario Dandy's father. He couldn't understand why his name was dragged along.

"I'm surprised, there's just gossip," said Raffi Ahmad to the media crew in Mampang Prapatan, South Jakarta on Monday, April 4.

Raffi realized that his name was quite sexy to talk about. He also admitted that he was not surprised if his name returned to the spotlight, and also felt that he was used to being the target of gossip from a number of netizens.

"I used to begosipin, just stop it," said the 36-year-old presenter.

Claiming not to know who Rafael Arun is, Raffi said that he did know Jeremy, the son-in-law of the former Directorate General of Taxes.

"If his son-in-law (Rafael Alun), Jeremy, is really working with me. But, I don't know Mr. Rafael, I don't know him," he said.

Raffi also stated that he was ready if he was indeed needed to testify in the Rafael Alun case. He is sure that he was not involved in the money laundering case in question.

"Yes, just be ready, go ahead and check, nothing," concluded Raffi Ahmad.

As previously known, the issue of an artist with the initials R who is suspected of being involved in the money laundering case Rafael Alun first emerged from the statement of the Founder Secretary of Indonesian Audit Watch (IAW), Iskandar Sitorus.
