Laura denies Hamzah Haz link

JAKARTA: The identity of "Laura", rumored to be a daughter of
Vice President Hamzah Haz, was partially revealed on Monday when
she arrived at city police headquarters to give a statement on a
drug case involving her boyfriend, actor and model Ibrahim
Azhari.

"I am not the daughter of Hamzah Haz, but Ibrahim has really
been my boyfriend for about one year," Laura Wendari told
reporters as quoted by online news portal detik.com.

Laura, 25, also said she knew the vice presidential family
through one of Hamzah's children.

Hamzah has 15 children from three wives. Laura was rumored to
be the daughter of his third wife, Soraya, who has three children
from a previous marriage.

Earlier on Sunday, Soraya and her daughter Aziza Kusuma Dewi
held a press conference to deny that she was involved in the drug
case.

However, there are still questions about Laura, who refused to
discuss her family background.

There are rumors that her father is a high-ranking member of
the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan) or
that her father is a legislator in the House of Representatives
from West Nusatenggara Barat.--JP
