Still Remember Bharada Richard Eliezer? Once Entangled in Ferdy Sambo Case, Now More Successful and Promoted
Former aide to Ferdy Sambo, Bharada Richard Eliezer Pudihang Lumiu, known as Bharada E, was once entangled in the major premeditated murder case of Brigadier J. Although Richard was found guilty of violating the Police Code of Ethics, he was retained as a police officer following a hearing by the Police Code of Ethics Commission (KKEP). This was because, in the murder case of Brigadier Yosua Hutabarat, Eliezer had been cooperative and served as a justice collaborator. The panel of judges sentenced Bharada E to 1 year and 6 months in prison. He has now been declared free and is achieving success in his life. Richard Eliezer has married his sweetheart, Duce Maria Angeline Christanto, also known as Ling Ling, after a delay while he underwent legal proceedings. The couple’s happy moment was shared by his former lawyer, Ronny Talapessy, on his Instagram account. ‘Praise God, the wedding blessing for Richard and Ling Ling has been held. May God unite and bless them until their grandchildren,’ wrote Ronny Talapessy on the account @ronnytalapessy. Richard Eliezer and Ling Ling held their wedding at the Raja Damai Tikala Catholic Parish Church in Manado on Saturday (20/4/2024). Richard Eliezer Pudihang Lumiu has also graduated with a Bachelor of Laws (S.H.) degree from the Pelopor Bangsa College of Law and Politics (STIHP). Vice Rector Three, Andi Tatang, expressed his appreciation to Eliezer for his graduation. ‘Congratulations and success to Richard Eliezer Pudihang Lumiu (Bharada E) on his graduation as a Bachelor of Laws at the Pelopor Bangsa College of Law and Politics,’ wrote Andi Tatang on his TikTok account. On Wednesday (20/8/2025), Eliezer was declared a graduate after completing his thesis guidance with Andi Tatang over several months. According to Andi, Richard was one of the students who was very diligent in writing his thesis, enabling him to complete his studies successfully. Richard Eliezer has now returned to duty as a police officer. Several moments of his duty were captured on camera and went viral on social media. Bharada E was seen taking photos with his colleagues at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) during the Grand Mass of Pope Francis some time ago.
