Richard Lee granted house arrest by Tangerang District Court

Richard Lee has been granted a request to change his detention status to house arrest by the Tangerang District Court regarding alleged consumer violations. His legal team argued for the change based on humanitarian reasons, his health, and the imminent end of his detention period.

During the proceedings, defense attorney Faizal Hafied highlighted discrepancies between the prosecution's allegations and the facts. Specifically, the defense argued that Richard Lee was not present in the locations specified in the indictment on the dates mentioned. Several individuals, including his wife Reni Effendi, Ustaz Derry Sulaiman, and expert witness Prof. Dr. Gayus Lumbuun, acted as guarantors for the request.

Following the court's decision, Richard Lee expressed gratitude to his wife for her support throughout the legal process. He noted that she remained by his side during his time in detention.
