Investigators think he secretly collected a lot of money and property he shouldn't have.
It's like he spent more money than he earned legally.
They found he owns expensive land, houses, and a resort.
Also, they found a tiger skin at his house, which is against the law.

Now, he is being investigated for corruption.
