Gayus Tambunan was supposed to be in prison over a corruption case involving millions of dollars.

Instead, cameras caught the detained tax offcial wearing a disguise and attending a tennis match.

He allegedly paid guards more than $40 000 for 68 trips out of the detention centre where he was being held.
