He's been accused of receiving a car as a gift in relation to a bidding for contracts in a $120 million project - the Hambalang complex - an allegation he strongly denies.

He's the second senior Democrat named a suspect in the Hambalang case after the Sports Minister Andi Mallarangeng, a close protege of SBY, who was charged in December.
