television presenter Brigita Purnawati Manohara confirmed that she had returned the money and car with a total value of Rp480 million that she received from the suspect in the alleged corruption case Ricky Ham Pagawak (RHP) to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

"It has been returned. Rp480 million is the money and also the car I have received and it is suspected that the proceeds from the suspect RHP have been criminalized," said Brigita after being questioned by investigators at the KPK building, reported by ANTARA, Monday, June 5.

Brigita claimed that the nominal amount of money and goods she received from RHP was in accordance with the nominal returned to the KPK.

"Earlier, I was asked the same thing, meaning that the material remains the same that the value received and returned is appropriate," he said.

This is the second time that Brigita has been questioned by KPK investigators. Brigita was previously questioned by investigators on Monday (25/7/2022) as a witness in the investigation into the alleged corruption case of RHP, while today the person concerned was examined as a witness in the alleged money laundering case (TPPU).

The KPK previously named the inactive Central Mamberamo Regent Ricky Ham Pagawak (RHP) as a suspect in the alleged bribery case related to infrastructure development projects in Central Mamberamo Regency.

After developing the case, the KPK then re-established Ricky Ham Pagawak as a suspect in the alleged money laundering case (TPPU).

The KPK Investigative Team then confiscated RHP assets worth around Rp. 30 billion. This asset is suspected to be related to the investigation of the alleged money laundering case (TPPU).

KPK investigators then confirmed related to the alleged flow of money from the suspect RHP to several parties, one of whom was witness Brigita Manohara.

Brigita admitted that she had returned the Rp480 million she received from Ricky Ham Pagawak (RHP) to the KPK.

"Everything has been returned," said Brigita.

However, KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri stated that the refund of money originating from criminal acts of corruption and causing state losses did not automatically invalidate criminal charges.

"Regarding several parties connected to the RHP suspect, they have even received money and have been returned, as stipulated in Law Number 31 of 1999 that the return of state losses does not erase criminal charges," said Firli in Jakarta, Monday (20/2).
