JAKARTA - Raffi Ahmad's name was highlighted by the public after a statement emerged about the involvement of the artist with the initials R who was involved in money laundering by a former official of the Directorate General of Taxes, Rafael Alun Trisambodo.
The reason is, Raffi is known to know Jeremy Imanuel Santoso, the son-in-law of Rafael Alun. Nagita Slavina's husband confirmed that he worked with Jeremy, but did not know his in-laws.
"If his son-in-law (Rafael Alun), Jeremy, is really working with me. But, I don't know Uncle Rafael, I don't know him," said Raffi Ahmad to the media crew in Mampang Prapatan, South Jakarta on Monday, April 3.
Together with Raffi, Mario Dandy's brother-in-law is known to be a high-ranking RANS PIK Basketball officer. Raffi Ahmad and his other colleagues, Rudy Salim, served as executive chairman. Meanwhile, Jeremy served as president of the club.
Raffi is aware that his closeness to Jeremy is assumed by many that he was involved in Rafael Alun's money laundering. However, he stated that he did not panic about the news.
"Yes, I'm not panicking. Actually, I'm trying to study why it was discussed with me. Indeed, I have friends, my friend Jeremy, there are also reports, it's already crowded. Jeremy works at RANS to take care of my basketball team, so the club president is my basketball team," he said.
Not only the wider public, Raffi admitted that he was often questioned by friends and other people who had been doing business with him. The answer is always the same, the father of two makes sure he doesn't know Rafael Alun.
"But I don't know Rafael, Pak Rafael or Om Rafael at all. Because of the news, all friends, clients, partners, investors ask questions, 'bro, you're not involved in this problem?' that's it. Ask me all," said Raffi.
Yakin bahwa dirinya bersih dari kasus pencucian uang Rafael Alun, Raffi juga memastikan bahwa dirinya siap jika harus dimintai keterangan.
"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.
