Golkar Party members are on the defensive over rumors that rogue tax official Gayus Tambunan met party chair and business tycoon Aburizal Bakrie in Bali. Widely circulated photos of Tambunan watching an international tennis match in Bali when he should have been in police detention in Jakarta took on a political twist when Bakrie was also seen at the match. Tambunan amassed a fortune that he claims came from bribes paid by companies linked to Bakrie.
