JAKARTA - An online gambling suspect under the guise of Quotex, Doni Salmanan is known to often give money and goods to several public figures. Allegedly, the gift was aimed at increasing popularity.
"(The purpose of the gift, ed) To be famous is easy, rich," said Head of Sub-Directorate I of the Directorate of Cyber Crimes at the National Police's Criminal Investigation Department, Kombes Reinhard Hutagaol, when confirmed, Friday, March 18.
However, it is still only conjecture. So, to prove it, investigators have scheduled a series of examinations of public figures.
The examination also traced the flow of Doni Salmanan in eradicating the crime of money laundering (TPPU).
"We use the proceeds of crime (gifts to public figures, ed)," said Reinhard.
So far, four public figures have been questioned as witnesses regarding the flow of Doni Salmanan's funds. They are Rizky Febian, Reza Arap, Atta Halilintar, and Arief Muhamad.
These public figures had received gifts of money or goods from Doni Salmanan.
For example, Rizky Febian was given Rp. 400 million in money by the Quotex affiliate in September 2021. The money was given when the comedian Sule's son uploaded a photo of his concoction drink on Instagram and asked his followers to give a price.
Then, Reza Arap was also recorded as receiving money from Doni Salmanan amounting to Rp. 1 billion. The money was given when Reza played the game.
Arief Muhammad was also noted to have received Rp4 billion in cash. However, the money was the result of buying and selling a Porsche 911 Carerra 4S with Doni Salmanan.
Meanwhile, Atta Halilintar received a luxury bag from Doni Salmanan. The bag was a gift for Aurel Hermansyah's husband's birthday.
