Nopek Novian Clarifies Involvement in Gold Investment Fraud Report

Comedian Arif Novianto, known professionally as Nopek Novian, publicly clarified his professional involvement with Emas Now on October 11, 2026, after being linked by victims’ legal representation to an alleged Rp 25 billion gold and silver investment fraud reported to Bareskrim Polri.

The controversy centers on a police report filed on October 9, 2026, by attorney Bionda Johan Anggara on behalf of 85 initial victims, as detailed by Kumparan.com. The complaint, registered under number LP/B/476/X/2026/SPKT/BARESKRIM POLRI, alleges that PT Divine Gems and Jewellery—operating alongside multiple corporate entities—defrauded investors through pre-order (PO) gold purchases that were never delivered and buyback schemes offering high returns that went unpaid.

Contractual Terms and Unfulfilled Payments Cited by Nopek Novian

Despite this formal agreement, the comedian asserted that he received only five percent of his total contract value. He maintained that initial and subsequent payment installments were never disbursed by the company ownership.

His legal team and he attempted repeatedly to arrange direct communication with the owners of Emas Now but were restricted to liaising exclusively through a marketing personnel coordinator (PIC).

Public Figures Face Legal Scrutiny over Promotional Materials

The inclusion of public figures in promotional materials prompted legal scrutiny across multiple celebrities. Coppen emphasized that she exercised no control over fund management, customer transactions, or product distribution.

Victim testimony cited by janalokajournal.id shows individual losses from unfulfilled pre-orders. While complainants point to public figures including Nopek Novian, Jennifer Coppen, and Kirana Larasati as key drivers of investor interest, investigators at Bareskrim Polri continue evaluating corporate liability under broad statutory provisions covering fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering.
