JAKARTA Singer Ashanty finally opened his voice regarding the case of embezzlement of money amounting to Rp1.3 billion by his former employee.

In a press conference, Anang Hermansyah's wife explained the complete chronology of how her money disappeared from one of the business accounts that had been managed by her trusted people.

Ashanty revealed that this case was first revealed in May 2025, shortly after Lebaran.

"In May, after Lebaran this year, to be precise... There was money in one account suddenly disappeared Rp800 million. After Rp800 million, two months later Rp500 million, that's it," said Ashanty in the South Jakarta area, Thursday, October 9.

Initially, Ashanty thought her husband, Anang Hermansyah, was involved because there was a similar signature in the transaction documents.

However, the allegation was immediately broken after his assistant, Mas Aris, found strong evidence that led to one of their employees. The moment of disclosure occurred when Ashanty was watching a concert.

"Only two songs, Mas Aris called. 'Bun, the thief has been found out. Luckily, Mother didn't talk to Mr.'," recalled Ashanty.

Hearing the news, Ashanty immediately panicked and immediately went home. He admitted that he was shaking when he had to face the employee who was suspected of being the perpetrator, but the person concerned remained calm without showing any guilt.

"He just kept quiet, didn't cry, there were no tears, no regrets whatsoever," said Ashanty.

However, after this case emerged to the public, Ashanty instead faced back charges from his former employee who claimed to have been intimidated by 10 people during interrogation.

Ashanty strongly denied the allegations. He confirmed that he had evidence of CCTV footage that had been submitted to the police.

"He said 10 people were intimidated. We have also given the CCTV police out," he said.

"It was only me who went up to the second floor, followed by Mas Anang, who was still wrapped in blood from the apartment, then there was Mas Haris and Pak Toni," he explained.

Ashanty regretted the narrative built by her former employee as if she had committed violence. He emphasized that he was actually trying to solve the problem in a good way and had invited the perpetrator to report it to the police station.

"Finally, I said, 'I don't want to be here to judge myself. We went to the police station, yes.' At that time I said so,' said Ashanty.

"I'm already standing up, Mbak doesn't want to stand up," he concluded.
