The country's Corruption Eradication Commission published the wealth reports of Mr Aburizal and four fellow ministers, out of 25 Cabinet ministers who had declared their assets.

Mr Aburizal is a prominent businessman. He is the founder of the Bakrie Group.

Other ministers whose wealth was publicly announced on Friday included State Minister of Culture and Tourism Jero Wacik (15 billion rupiah) and Minister of Religious Affairs Maftuh Basyuni (more than 7.7 billion rupiah).
