Wow! Raffi Ahmad Receives Luxury Gift from Gilang Juragan 99

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

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 one. Where does your wealth come from?" Irfan Hakim asked.

Raffi asserted that his income comes from shooting fees. He also has a business.

"I shoot," Raffi answered.

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

Raffi admitted that he manages the money from shooting fees into a business. Now, the business empire he has built, Rans Entertainment, earns a considerable income.

"That means you haven't managed your money well, you haven't mastered the business skills yet. Rans Entertainment's valuation is already in the trillions," Raffi Ahmad said.

Raffi's name has been linked to the money laundering case involving Rafael Alun. Raffi's name started to be mentioned after the Indonesian Audit Watch (IAW) mentioned an artist with the initial 'R' who was allegedly involved with Rafael Alun. (x)

"Raffi Ahmad is not a monk, he invites me to shoot from morning to morning," wrote the account @senja.

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

Dream - The case of former Director General of Tax at the Ministry of Finance (DJP Kemenkeu) Rafael Alun Trisambodo also involves a famous artist. It is said that Rafael is associated with 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 account.

“There is a viral news that seems to suggest that Rafael's tax case has a business relationship with my friend Raffi Ahmad, I just called Raffi Ahmad, and Raffi Ahmad said he doesn't 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 absolutely no business relationship. So the viral news with the initial 'R' that seems to have a business joint venture with Rafael is not true, it's not Raffi Ahmad,” he emphasized.

Quoting Liputan6.com, the rumor that Raffi Ahmad is involved in money laundering cases involving Ayah Mario Dandy has been circulating more strongly due to his closeness to a person named Jeremy Imanuel Santoso.

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.
