The husband of Nagita Slavina emphasized that he has never received a Ducati motorcycle from Wahyu. He admitted to never receiving anything from that crazy rich person from Surabaya.

"I'm just relaxed (being gossiped about) because I don't know him, I haven't even met Uncle Rafael," said Raffi Ahmad in the FYP Trans7 program.

Irfan Hakim, the host of the show, seemed skeptical of Raffi's statement. He even suspected the source of wealth of the artist known as Sultan Andara.

"Maybe among the artists with the initial R, Raffi Ahmad is the richest, where does your wealth come from?" asked Irfan Hakim.

Raffi emphasized that his income comes from shooting fees. Besides, he also has a business.

"I earn from shooting," replied Raffi.

"I also shoot, but why am I not rich," replied Irfan Hakim.

Raffi admitted that the money from shooting fees is managed into a business. Now, the business empire he has built, Rans Entertainment, brings in considerable income.

"So, you haven't been smart in managing your money, you haven't learned about business, like Rans Entertainment, how much is its valuation?" said Raffi Ahmad.

Raffi's name is indeed associated with the money laundering case accused of Rafael Alun. Raffi's name started to be mentioned after Indonesian Audit Watch (IAW) mentioned an artist with the initial R suspected of being involved with Rafael Alun. (x)
