Kapanlagi.com - The alleged embezzlement case involving Wika Salim is still ongoing. Her lawyer, Sandy Arifin, revealed that they are currently waiting for a decision from Wika. Wika's focus right now is taking care of her sick mother.

Even so, Sandy admitted that he already has some strong evidence related to this case. Several names suspected of being the perpetrators have also been included in their list.

"What is certain is that we have obtained data, the documents that have been received and are currently being studied. We will update you next. For now, there are still some that we suspect, but later after the data is collected, it will narrow down who," said Sandy Arifin.

Sandy also explained that his side is still communicating with Wika Salim regarding the legal steps that will be taken. One of them is the plan to send an official warning to the parties suspected of being involved.

"The communication is still ongoing, perhaps with Miss Wika. From our side, it is still limited to communication with Miss Wika about what information, for example, if it turns out that she says to send an official warning, we will prepare it in the near future," he explained.

2. Still Waiting for Wika's Stance

However, when the summons will be sent remains a question. Sandy stated that all decisions are in the hands of Wika as the victim.

"Maybe openly, it was yesterday with friends from the media. But officially, we are still waiting for our client, whether last Wednesday was the deadline or today, we are still waiting. But for sure, if there is no good faith, legal proceedings will continue," he said.

Regarding the losses incurred, Sandy mentioned that the amount is quite large. The preliminary suspicion is that the figure could reach billions of rupiah.

"Still like yesterday (the amount of loss). Yes, yesterday it was calculated to be around 1 (billion). It might increase because according to Wika, it's more than that," said Sandy Arifin.
