Suharto Charged with Siphoning Off Over $570M in State Funds

HeadlineAug 03, 2000

This news from Indonesia: Prosecutors today have charged the former dictator Suharto with siphoning off more than $570 million in state funds and plan to take him to court within days. Suharto is accused of using charities under his control to siphon off the money during his thirty-two-year reign. Suharto, who was forced to quit after students and workers took to the streets in May of 1998, has denied any wrongdoing. He has yet to have been held responsible or tried for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Timorese and Indonesians since he came to power in 1965.
