        "content": "<p>Presidential Special Envoy for Youth and Arts Development, Raffi\nAhmad, has issued a clarification regarding reports linking him to an\nalleged import goods case involving courier company Blueray Cargo. Raffi\nasserted that he has no connection whatsoever to the import activities\ncurrently under scrutiny. He explained that his link to the company\u2019s\nname was limited to a photograph taken while he was in the United States\nin 2025. \u201cMy name has been dragged into an unpleasant piece of news. In\nthe past, I was often linked to money laundering and other things, but I\nwas relaxed because it never happened. Now, because I have been\nentrusted with the mandate as Presidential Special Envoy, I feel it is\nnecessary to correct these falsehoods,\u201d Raffi said during a press\nconference in the Kebayoran Baru area of South Jakarta on Thursday\n(11\/6). During the press conference, which was also attended by his\nattorney, Hotman Paris Hutapea, Raffi explained that his meeting with\nBlueray personnel occurred by chance whilst he was visiting several\nIndonesian-owned businesses in New York after taking part in the Chicago\nMarathon in October 2025. According to Raffi, at that time he visited\nAwang Kitchen restaurant and Indo Java store as a show of support for\nIndonesian entrepreneurs operating in the United States. After the visit\nconcluded, several people from Blueray asked to take a photograph with\nhim. \u201cWhen I was eating at Awang Kitchen and Indo Java, many Indonesian\ncitizens asked for photos. On exiting the location, there was a store\ncalled Blueray. They called me over to take a photo,\u201d Raffi stated. He\nalso revealed that a brief conversation took place with the Blueray\nparty regarding shipping services. However, Raffi stressed that he never\nused the service or conducted any transactions. \u201cThey briefly offered to\nsend an iPhone for free. I said, don\u2019t bother. If it\u2019s free, I don\u2019t\nwant it. After that, there was no order and no further communication,\u201d\nRaffi recounted. Meanwhile, Hotman Paris stated that no evidence was\nfound showing that his client ever ordered goods or received a shipment\nfrom Blueray Cargo. \u201cHe never ordered anything. This was merely\ncelebrity small talk from meeting people who asked for a photo,\u201d Hotman\ndisclosed. Furthermore, Hotman suspected that Raffi\u2019s name emerged in\nthe case as a result of internal company communications which were\nsubsequently revealed during the investigation. Previously, the\nCorruption Eradication Commission (KPK) stated that the name Raffi\nAhmad, or RA, was mentioned in court facts related to the courier\ncompany Blueray Cargo. The company is currently facing an alleged\nbribery case linked to goods importation activities at the Directorate\nGeneral of Customs and Excise. Responding to this, Raffi reiterated that\nhe never conducted transactions or received goods shipments from the\ncompany. He also urged the public not to readily believe unverified\ninformation. Raffi Ahmad has denied involvement in the alleged import\ncase dragging in Blueray Cargo. According to him, interaction with the\ncompany only occurred during a photo session in the United States and\nnever progressed to any transactions or cooperation.<\/p>",
