Suharto's family seeks
forgiveness
The late General El Haj Mohammed Suharto of Indonesia
Indonesia must not let the death of former president Suharto derail legal attempts to retrieve state assets from his family and inner circle, a prominent local lawyer and activist said on Monday. Suharto died on Sunday, aged 86. In the weeks before his death when he lay critically ill in hospital, Indonesians vigorously debated whether to pardon him for graft and human rights abuses during his three decades in power or push ahead with legal action against his family and friends. Critics say Suharto and his family amassed as much as USD 45 billion in kickbacks or deals.
