According to the Acting Director of Investigations at the KPK, Achmad\nTaufik Husein, Raffi Ahmad\u2019s name emerged in relation to his visit to\nthe Blueray Cargo office in the United States to arrange the shipment of\nvarious electronic goods to Indonesia. However, Achmad stated that the\nKPK has not yet expanded upon this specific lead within the ongoing\nCustoms investigation.<\/p>\n
Following the reports, Raffi Ahmad immediately appointed the\nprominent lawyer Hotman Paris as his legal counsel. This was announced\nby Hotman Paris in a video uploaded to Raffi Ahmad\u2019s Instagram\naccount.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello to the journalists, the media, and Raffi Ahmad\u2019s enemies.\nRaffi Ahmad just called me requesting legal assistance against those who\nare slandering him. He stated his name was mentioned in court regarding\nthe Blueray Cargo Import matter,\u201d said Hotman Paris, as reported on\nTuesday, 9 June 2026.<\/p>\n
Hotman Paris noted that, per his agreement with Raffi Ahmad, a press\nconference will be held this Thursday at 2:00 PM WIB. During this\nsession, Hotman challenged those he described as Raffi Ahmad\u2019s\nadversaries to attend and present their accusations directly.<\/p>\n
\u201cHotman Paris\u2019s style is never cowardly; I do not shy away from press\nconferences. When I hold a press conference, I always challenge my\nenemies to appear alongside the media. We have agreed with Raffi Ahmad\nto hold a press conference this Thursday at 2:00 PM,\u201d continued Hotman\nParis.<\/p>\n
Hotman also challenged those linking Raffi Ahmad to the Blueray Cargo\nImport case to produce evidence supporting their claims.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully, by Wednesday afternoon, I will be able to return and\nassist Raffi Ahmad. I invite all media and individuals posting about\nthis, including motivators, to debate with Hotman and Raffi Ahmad\u2014bring\nyour evidence. Is it true that Raffi Ahmad is involved in the Blueray\nCargo Import case currently in trial? Come and prove it,\u201d he\nconcluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/raffi-ahmad-retains-hotman-paris-as-legal-counsel-following-allegations-in-customs-corruption-case-1780984596", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
