This is the Contents of Zul Zivilia's Letter Read by His Wife, Refuses to Be Called Involved in International Drug Network

When met in Pesanggrahan, South Jakarta, on Monday afternoon (9/10), Retno Paradinah stated that the news about her husband is very defamatory. She said that Zul has never been involved or even known Fredy Pratama.

"Zul has never been involved in drug trafficking by Fredy Pratama, let alone being a henchman, the circulating news is very cornering Zul, as if the relationship between Zul and Fredy Pratama is still ongoing until now," Retno said.

Therefore, through a letter, Retno also read a message from Zul Zivilia. The letter contains an expression that Zul feels defamed by the case.

"Assalamualaikum wrwb. To the press friends, indeed all actions will be held accountable before Allah in the future. Including adding news that tends to slander me so as to build an opinion that it seems that I am still involved in the case that trapped me in 2019.

Too many false news that disturb me and my family, such as the title of the news: Fredy Pratama's Handyman, Distributing Drugs in South Sulawesi, and others. All of these news are false.

May Allah forgive all of our sins, for Allah does not like people who like to spread lies, because it is a very unjust act," said Retno. 

When asked further, Retno said that she herself asked her husband to write the letter. This is because Retno couldn't stand the many false news about her husband.

"So yesterday, I met Kak Zul because there were already many news, and I couldn't clarify it directly. So on Saturday morning, after doing my makeup, I went straight to the prison. And I asked about this issue, because I couldn't stand it anymore, finally I asked him to write a letter and whatever I could grasp from his words, I wrote it down," Retno concluded.
