Tommy Suharto sues Garuda Indonesia

Monday, 08 Sep, 2010 0

Former late dictator Suharto’s son has filed a civil suit against Garuda Indonesia for an in-flight magazine article that referred to him as a “convicted murderer”.

Bloomberg Business Week has reported that Tommy Suharto, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison for ordering the assassination of a Supreme Court judge, is demanding a public apology from Garuda Indonesia and the publishers of its magazine, said his lawyer.

The lawyer said the reference to Suharto’s conviction was “not at all relevant to the article”, which reviewed Suharto’s Pecatu Indah Resort on Bali.

Tommy Suharto, who was released from prison in 2006 after serving just five years of his 15-year sentence, was also found guilty in July for tax evasion.
