JAKARTA - The artist couple, Rizky Billar and Lesti Kejora, returned the money given by the suspect in the DNA Pro trading robot case. The nominal value reaches Rp. 1 billion.

The refund was made while undergoing examination as a witness in the case of an illegal trading robot at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police.

"That's right, (nominal money, red) Rp. 1 billion, we will return it in full," said Rizky Billar to reporters, Wednesday, April 20.

In fact, Rizky Billar said that the money given by Stephen Richard was never used. Because, he argued that the money given was intended for baby L or his son.

In addition, during the examination which lasted for about 7 hours, Rizky Billar also explained to investigators that the gift was indeed for content.

There is no reciprocity behind the giving of money. They gave publications to Stefanus. "Then what feedback can I give. He said he just needed exposure," said Rizky Billar.

Rizky Billar and Lesti Kejora were summoned to provide information because they received Rp1 billion in money from suspect Stefanus Richard.

The reason Stefanus Richard gave the money was said to be a gift for the birth of Rizky Billar and Lesti Kejora's first child.

Meanwhile, the Head of Sub-Directorate I of the Directorate of Special Economic Crimes of the Bareskril Police, Kombes Yuldi Yusman, who confirmed the matter, said that the giving of money was merely content. This was revealed based on the results of Richard's examination.

The purpose of creating the content is so that people think that members of the DNA Pro trading robot can earn a lot of money.

"The suspect's answer was that the money was only given as content," said Yuldi.

In addition, the suspect's main purpose was to give money to the husband and wife to promote the DNA Pro trading robot. So, it can be widely known by the public.

"To promote DNA Pro," he said.
