Viral Artist with Initial R in Rafael Alun Case, Hotman Paris: Not Raffi Ahmad

Dream - The case of former Official of the Directorate General of Taxes of the Ministry of Finance (DJP Kemenkeu) Rafael Alun Trisambodo involves a famous artist. It is mentioned that Rafael is related to an Indonesian artist with the initial 'R'.

This has made the public wonder and speculate who the artist with the initial 'R' really is. Several names have been mentioned by netizens, one of which is Raffi Ahmad.

Regarding this matter, one of Raffi's friends who is also a famous lawyer, Hotman Paris Hutapea, explained that it is not true that Raffi Ahmad is involved in the case. He conveyed this through his Instagram social media account.

“There is viral news that implies that Rafael's tax case is related to my friend Raffi Ahmad, I just called Raffi Ahmad, and Raffi Ahmad said he does not know Rafael,” said Hotman quoted from Instagram @hotmanparisofficial, Saturday, April 1, 2023.

Furthermore, Hotman explained that his friend has no business relationship with Rafael Alun at all.

“There is no business relationship at all. So, the viral news with the initial 'R' that implies a business partnership with Rafael is not true, it is not Raffi Ahmad,” he emphasized.

Quoting Liputan6.com, the rumors of Raffi Ahmad being involved in the money laundering case carried out by Ayah Mario Dandy are getting stronger due to his closeness to a figure named Jeremy Imanuel Santoso.

It is known that Jeremy Imanuel Santoso is the son-in-law of Rafael Alun Trisambodo. Jeremy is also the brother-in-law of Mario Dandy, the child of Rafael Alun Trisambodo.

It is rumored that Jeremy and Raffi Ahmad also have a business relationship. Jeremy is the manager of RANS PIK Basketball, a basketball team owned by Raffi Ahmad.
