Anton Septian, Jakarta – A group of students from at least six universities rallied outside one of Bakrie & Brothers' property on Monday (8/2) to urge authorities to complete tax evasion investigation on three subsidiaries of the politically-related busines group.

"We demand Aburizal Bakrie to be charged with tax evasion," shouted a rally coordinator, while protesters carried posters of Aburizal Bakrie, chairman of Golkar Party and former Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare.

Students from Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University, Muhammadiyah University, As-Syafiyah University, Bung Karno University, and Swadaya School of Economics.

Three companies under Bakrie and Brothers group PT Bumi resources, PT Kaltim Prima Coal, PT Arutmin have allegedly manipulated financial reports to reduce tax payment to the government worth in total Rp2.1 trillion.
