In Indonesia, the U.S.-based Time magazine has been ordered to pay more than $100 million in damages to former Indonesia President Suharto. A 1999 article detailed the Suharto family’s rampant corruption and alleged it pocketed more than $70 billion while in power. The ruling overturned two previous lower court judgments that dismissed the damages claim. The court ruled “the article has damaged the reputation and honour of the grand general of the Indonesian armed forces and former president of Indonesia.”
