Tommy Suharto sues Garuda Indonesia
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 articleâ€, 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.
