Timeline

2020

Among Tommy's recent business projects is Mangkuluhur City, which he is developing with businessman Harry Gunawan. The project comprises four skyscrapers and a high-rise building on Jalan Jenderal Gatot Subroto in Jakarta, Indonesia. The tallest of the towers will be 80 stories. Two of the towers are for office space, while the other two are for residential and serviced apartments. The existing Crowne Plaza hotel is part of the development. A Regent Hotel is also being developed at the site is scheduled to be opened at the end of 2020 with nightly rates starting from Rp3.5 million.

2019

It has often been said that Tommy was his parents’ favorite son. Tien’s 1992 authorized biography states, “What sets Tommy apart from his elder brothers Sigit and Bambang, is that he has a more agile disposition. Tommy, who sports a mustache, is never without his RayBan sunglasses. At 28 years of age, he is the splitting [sic] image of his father. Deep in his heart, he cherishes great admiration for his mother.”

Joko Bodo pretended to go along with the plot but instead called police and Elize was arrested in a sting on 19 January near the Soldiers Museum at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (a theme park founded by Tommy’s mother) in East Jakarta in possession of the bombs. She confessed that Tommy had given her the bombs and shown her how to detonate them. Saleh Saaf said that since 1997, Elize had received Rp 150 million per year from Tommy. He also said Tommy had given her a blue Timor car. Her house on Jalan Suwiryo in Menteng was also reported to be a gift from Tommy.

Although running as a candidate in Papua province, Tommy voted in the 2019 election at Polling Station 02 Gondangdia, near his Jakarta residence. Of 217 valid votes cast at the station in the legislative election, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle came first with 49 votes, followed by the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) with 40 votes and then Berkarya with 39 votes.

2018

In March 2017, Berkarya and another small party, Swara Rakyat Indonesia (Parsindo), announced they were supporting Tommy to run for the presidency in 2019. Parsindo secretary general Ahmad Hadari predicted the 2019 presidential election "will be a war" between the Sukarno dynasty and the Suharto dynasty. In May 2017, Tommy said he was saddened by the present condition of Indonesia because corruption is thriving in parliament. In September 2017, Tommy said he was yet to think of contesting Indonesia's 2019 presidential election. In October 2017, his lawyer denied Tommy was planning to run for office in 2019, saying fake accounts on social media were falsely claiming he had been endorsed by mass organizations. On 11 March 2018, Tommy was named chairman of Berkarya Party. The date was the 52nd anniversary of Supersemar (the Order of Eleven March), a document signed by founding president Sukarno on 11 March 1966, giving then-Army chief Suharto sweeping powers that paved the way for him to become president. Tommy said his appointment as Berkarya chairman on 11 March was coincidental.

In February 2018, Tommy criticized the government of President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo for allowing state debt to rise to $340 billion. He said that by comparison, when Suharto was president, state debt was $54 billion. He criticized Jokowi's infrastructure development policy, saying it had caused foreign debt to rise. He said infrastructure development should be coupled with a reduction in commodity transport costs, rather than just focusing on projects.

In July 2018, Berkarya Party announced Tommy would be standing in the April 2019 general election as a candidate for the national legislature, representing Papua province. Berkarya secretary general Priyo Budi Santoso said Tommy chose Papua because he is fond of "the little people and marginalized areas". Parts of Papua exercise a system of collective voting called noken, in which clan chiefs cast votes on behalf of their communities, often in exchange for bribes. Observers have noted the system is susceptible to fraud and intimidation.

The announcement that Tommy was running for parliament raised questions over his eligibility to stand for office. Article 7, Clause 1(g) of the General Elections Commission (KPU) Regulation No.20/2018 on legislative candidacy prohibits former prisoners who were sentenced to five years or more in jail. However, Article 7, Clause 4, of the same regulation allows ex-convicts to run if they have completed their sentence and are publicly honest about their criminal past. KPU commissioner Ilham Saputra said former prisoners running in the 2019 legislative election are obliged to make public announcements they had committed criminal acts. When Tommy was interviewed by Al Jazeera journalist Step Vaessen in May 2018, he did not acknowledge his guilt in the case of the murdered judge, but said, "There is not a single witness who testified against me in the trial. The verdict was indeed very harsh. I have served my term. According to the law, I now have the same rights as anyone else."

2017

Tommy appealed twice to the Supreme Court, which on 13 December 2017 rejected his second appeal. The judgment was not sent to the court until 4 July 2018 and was not reported by the Indonesian media until January 2020, when the government announced it was entitled to the frozen funds.

Britain's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) in 2017 entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with Rolls-Royce over the bribery and corruption scandal. Rolls-Royce was required to pay a total of £671 million for its criminal conduct in deals that covered Indonesia, Thailand, India, Russia, Nigeria, China and Malaysia. A summary by the SFO stated that bribes were paid by Rolls-Royce to two Indonesian intermediaries.

In October 2017, Tommy's lawyer Erwin Kallo reiterated the denial of Tommy's involvement in the case. He expressed concern that conventional media had been duped by fake news without checking sources. In particular, he singled out Wikipedia Indonesia for linking Tommy to the Rolls-Royce case even after the denials.

2016

In September 2016, Tommy joined the government's tax amnesty program, in which tax cheats were rewarded with a tax rate of just 2–4% on assets previously hidden from authorities. Tommy declined to reveal how much tax he paid or the amount of assets he declared, but noted that most of them are abroad.

In May 2016, it was announced that Tommy would again run for the chairmanship of the Golkar, but he opted not to register for the race. In the same month, Tommy was named as a member of Golkar's Supervisory Board.

In July 2016, Tommy formed Berkarya Party, a merger of Beringin Karya Party and Nasional Republik Party. The new party was legalized by the government in October 2016. Controversially, Berkarya Party uses Golkar's distinctive banyan tree logo and yellow color.

2012

In 2012, former Rolls-Royce employee Dick Taylor alleged the company gave a $20 million bribe and a blue Rolls–Royce car to Tommy in the early 1990s for his help in persuading Garuda Indonesia to buy Rolls’ Trent 700 engine for Airbus A330 aircraft. Tommy's lawyers in 2013 issued a statement denying their client had ever accepted any money or a car, or that he had recommended Rolls-Royce engines to Garuda.

2011

In May 2011, Tommy won a lawsuit against Garuda Indonesia for Rp.12.51 billion ($1.46 million) in damages. The case concerned a sponsored article titled "A New Destination to Enjoy in Bali" in the December 2009 issue of Garuda's in-flight magazine. The feature was supposed to be promoting Tommy's Pecatu resort, but a footnote at the end of the article, added by the translator, mentioned Tommy was a convicted murderer. Presiding Judge Tahsin said the article had ruined Tommy’s reputation "as a national and international businessman". He said Tommy's past should not have been mentioned because he had completed his prison term.

2009

In 2009, Tommy sought to become Golkar chairman at the party's congress held in Riau province. His campaign associate Saurip Kadi said Tommy would provide Rp 50 billion (then equivalent to about $5 million) to each Golkar regional chapter if elected. However, rival tycoon Aburizal Bakrie promised a fund of Rp 1 trillion and was elected chairman.

2008

The Finance Ministry and state-owned Bank Mandiri in January 2005 froze a TPN account containing some Rp1.3 trillion as collateral against the Rp4.2 trillion that Timor owed to Bank Mandiri. Tommy responded by suing Mandiri and the Finance Ministry. In November 2006, South Jakarta District Court ruled Timor the rightful owner of the Rp 1.3 trillion in the Bank Mandiri account. In November 2007, Jakarta High Court annulled the lower court's ruling. On 28 August 2008, Indonesian Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati stated that Bank Mandiri had been directed to transfer Rp1.23 trillion (US$134 million) of funds owned by TPN to a government account.

Previously, the Finance Ministry had filed a graft case alleging Tommy illegally sold assets from Timor to five of his companies. Tommy responded by filing a US$21.8 million countersuit against the ministry. He won a separate US$61 million civil corruption case in February 2008, receiving US$550,000 in a countersuit.

2006

He served the first three weeks of his sentence in the Block H luxury wing of Cipinang jail, Jatinegara, East Jakarta, before being transferred to Nusa Kambangan Island prison off the southern coast of Central Java. His luxury 8 x 3 meter cell was carpeted and contained a sofa, a sideboard, a television, a refrigerator, cooking utensils, an air-conditioner, a water purifier, a laptop computer, and two mobile phones. He was often allowed to travel to Jakarta on the grounds of medical parole and was seen at an exclusive golf course. In April 2006 he was transferred back to Cipinang. His sentence was reduced to 10 years on appeal, and he was given conditional release on 30 October 2006. He spent a total of four years in detainment. Critics said Tommy was released solely because of his wealth and his family's enduring power.

2003

The debts of PT Timor Putra Nasional (TPN) held by the Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency amounted to Rp4.2 trillion. Tommy's Humpuss Group allegedly sponsored a company named PT Vista Bella to buy back TPN's debts on 30 April 2003 for Rp512 billion, although under the sale agreement, the purchaser cannot be affiliated with the original owner.

2002

Tommy was on 26 July 2002 sentenced to 15 years jail for murder, illegal weapons possession and fleeing justice. The murder charge alone had carried the death penalty, but prosecutors sought only a 15 year sentence. Tommy rarely showed up for his trial, claiming to be ill, and was absent when his verdict was announced. Instead, his paid supporters were present outside the court.

2001

In July 2001, Tommy paid 100 million rupiah to two hitmen to murder Kartasasmita, who was subsequently shot dead while on his way to work. Indonesia's notoriously corrupt Supreme Court responded to the assassination by overturning Tommy's corruption conviction in October 2001, in a move that was viewed as part of a deal to make him come out of hiding. The Jakarta Post newspaper noted the ruling "destroyed what little credibility was left on what is supposed to be the last bastion of justice in this country".

Tommy on 14 January 2001 gave three bombs to his friend Elize Maria Tuwahatu at a meeting on Jalan Cilacap in Menteng, Central Jakarta, according to a statement by National Police spokesman Brigadier General Saleh Saaf on 23 January 2001. One day after receiving the bombs, Elize visited celebrity paranormal Ki Joko Bodo (real name: Agung Yulianto) and requested his assistance in a plot to bomb the Attorney General’s Office, the Trade and Industry Ministry and the Directorate General of Taxation. Elize asked Joko to help plant and detonate the bombs, promising an initial payment of Rp 10 million, and a bonus of Rp 1 billion if the bombs killed Attorney General Marzuki Darusman and Trade and Industry Minister Luhut Panjaitan. The Tax Directorate General bombing was only to be a form of shock therapy.

Elize’s confession that Tommy gave her the bombs was later withdrawn by her lawyer, Masiga Bugis, who claimed her client was suffering mental problems. Elize was detained at Pondok Bambu women’s jail and went on trial at East Jakarta District Court in April 2001 for possession of explosives. The six-page prosecution indictment stated Tommy had ordered the bombings. Outside the trial, Elize said she had apologized to the “Cendana family” because Tommy was experiencing difficulties. She testified that the person who gave her the bombs looked like Tommy but she could not be sure it was him because it was dark. On 30 July 2001, Elize was sentenced to 10 years in jail, while Tommy remained at-large.

On 6 August 2001, police seized guns, grenades, explosives and ammunition at two Jakarta residences rented by Tommy: a unit in Cemara Apartment and a house in Pondok Indah.

While on the run from the law in 2001, Tommy spent some of his time living with former model Lani Banjaranti. Lani in 2003 announced she had a 13-month-old son, Syalif Putrawan, fathered by Tommy.

2000

On 4 July 2000, Tommy was questioned at the Attorney General's Office as a witness in his father’s corruption case. One hour after he left, a bomb exploded at the rear of the Special Crimes Building (Roundhouse). Another bomb, which bore a military code, was found in a private bathroom on the second floor of the building and defused. Police questioned Tommy’s personal bodyguards over the bomb.

On 14 September 2000, a day before Suharto's corruption trial was to resume, a bomb exploded in the basement carpark of the Jakarta Stock Exchange, killing 15 people. The type of explosive used suggested military involvement. President Abdurrahman Wahid said the bombing was linked to his efforts to prosecute members of the Suharto family and that Tommy and his friend Habib Ali Baagil of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) might be involved. He ordered National Police chief Rusdihardjo to arrest Tommy and Habib for questioning. Rusdihardjo refused, prompting Wahid to complain he could not get sufficient cooperation from the police and the military to obtain evidence to secure arrests. Police later said two soldiers, including one from the Army’s Special Forces (Kopassus), had planted the bomb. Defense Minister Mahfud said Suharto's corruption trial should be canceled to prevent further violence. “If we keep meddling with this matter ... we will continue to be harassed … more terror will keep coming,” he said.

1999

As a young man, Tommy was known for his fondness for actresses, nightclubs and casinos. Time magazine in 1999 alleged that Tommy loved gambling and thought nothing of losing $1 million in a single sitting.

In April 1999, Tommy and his business partner Ricardo Gelael went on trial over an $11 million land scam. They were acquitted in October 1999 by South Jakarta District Court. In September 2000, a panel of three Supreme Court judges, led by Syafiuddin Kartasasmita, overturned the ruling and sentenced Tommy and Gelael each to 18 months in jail for corruption. Tommy refused to go to jail and went into hiding. Kartasasmita's wife later alleged her husband had refused a $20,000 bribe from Tommy.

Time magazine in 1999 put Tommy's wealth at $800 million. In 2016, Tommy was listed 56th on GlobeAsia magazine's list of 150 richest Indonesians, with wealth of $655 million.

From late 1999 to September 2000, Jakarta was hit by a series of bombings, which were linked by some officials to efforts to prosecute members of the Suharto family, including Tommy, for corruption.

1997

In July 1997, state and private banks were encouraged by the government to provide a $650 million loan to Tommy to build a national car factory. On 23 September 1997, in response to the Asian financial crisis battering the Indonesian economy, Finance Minister Mar’ie Muhammad halted fifteen “mega” projects, but the Timor national car was absent from the list, prompting claims it was "untouchable". In January 1998, Suharto ended the Timor's tax breaks in line with reforms imposed by the IMF. Timor showrooms were subsequently targeted in the 13–15 May 1998 riots that precipitated Suharto's resignation.

After the 1997–1998 Asian financial crisis, the Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency (IBRA) stated that Humpuss Group was the third largest debtor of irrecoverable loans from domestic banks, mostly from state banks, with a total debt of Rp 5.7 trillion in 2001. This was 2.5 times Humpuss Group’s annual sales in 1996. Of the total irrecoverable debt, more than half had been borrowed by PT Timor Putra Nasional. The debt was partly repaid to IBRA in assets, and some was later settled through debt restructuring schemes and debt-to-equity swaps.

Tommy had a motor racing career in various disciplines, competing in Rally Indonesia in 1997 against WRC's top drivers. He also funded the development of Sentul International Circuit. Tommy was chairman of Ikatan Motor Indonesia (the Indonesian Motoring Association) from 1991–1995. After being released from jail in 2006, Tommy returned to motor racing by competing in the SS-12 National Championship Rally, held in Pecatu, Bali. Tommy drove a Subaru Impreza WRX, which he rolled at a corner, putting him out of the race. He is presently on IMI's Board of Advisers for the 2016–2020 period. His son, Darma Mangkuluhur Hutomo, is also a race car driver.

At the age of 34, Tommy married 22-year-old Ardhia Pramesti Regita Cahyani, better known as 'Tata', on 30 April 1997 at At-Tin Mosque at Taman Mini recreation park. Tata is from royal lineage of Mangkunegaran principality of Surakarta. They have two children: Dharma Mangkuluhur and Radhyana Gayanti Hutami. On 15 May 2006, Tata filed for divorce and moved to Singapore. They were divorced in September 2006. In 2017, one of Tommy's lawyers, Salim Muhammad, said that prior to going to jail, Tommy had given Tata 100 billion rupiah to look after their two children. He claimed the money disappeared with Tata without a trace, without Tommy's knowledge.

1996

In February 1996, president Suharto announced Indonesia's "National Car" policy, in which a company intending to produce a national car would be exempted from duties and luxury tax, and tariffs on imported spare parts. The only company allowed to benefit from the policy was Tommy's newly created PT Timor Putra Nasional. Japan, the US and the European Union all complained to the World Trade Organization that Indonesia had violated WTO rules on equal treatment. Tommy was allowed to import 45,000 fully built Kia cars from South Korea and simply rebadged them as Timor cars. Richard Borsuk and Nancy Chng, in their 2013 book on Liem Sioe Liong, noted "the fiasco did more than any other act to galvanize enmity to Suharto and his family".

In 1996, Tommy's company PT Pecatu Graha forced villagers off their land in Bali to build a 650-hectare resort. The brutal evictions were backed by military personnel and police using tear gas. Landowners were offered compensation of only 2.5 million rupiah per 100 square meters, well below the prevailing market price of 20 million to 30 million rupiah per 100 square meters. Time reported that residents who refused to sell their land were intimidated, beaten and sometimes put in water up to their necks, and two were jailed for six months.

On 28 April 1996, Tommy's mother died after a heart attack following a family dinner. Jakarta’s rumor mill speculated that Tommy and his brother Bambang had been arguing over the national car policy, and one of them fired a shot that hit their mother. The persistent rumor was denied by former National Police chief Sutanto (a presidential aide in 1996) in the 2011 book Pak Harto The Untold Stories. Bambang also dismissed the rumor as "communist slander".

1994

Adam Schwarz noted in his 1994 book, A Nation in Waiting:

In 1994, Tommy's Bermuda-registered company Megatech, which is co-owned by Malaysian firm Mycom Setdco, purchased Italian sports car maker Lamborghini from Chrysler Corp. for $40 million. Megatech sold Lamborghini to Audi AG for $110 million during Indonesia's 1998 financial crisis.

Under Presidential Decree No. 86/1994 and Presidential Decree No. 14/1997, only two companies, PT Multi Nitroma Kimia and PT Tridaya Esta, were allowed to sell Dahana’s explosives for commercial use. The two companies were linked to Tommy and his brother Bambang Trihatmodjo.

1990

In December 1990, Tommy established a clove trading monopoly, the Clove Support and Trading Board (BPPC), despite strong opposition from clove cigarette manufacturers. Under a Trade Ministry regulation, all local cigarette manufacturers were forced to buy from BPPC, which also controlled clove imports from other countries. A subsequent investigation found that Tommy forced clove farmers to sell at immensely reduced prices and then sold the cloves to the cigarette industry at inflated prices. While Tommy profited, many clove farmers went bankrupt. The clove monopoly became a symbol of the nepotism and state-sanctioned skimming that brought down the Indonesian economy and Suharto's 32-year regime in 1998. The monopoly was dismantled in 1998 as part of the International Monetary Fund's package to bail out the Indonesian economy. In July 2007, Tommy was named a suspect in a 175 billion rupiah corruption case involving BPPC. Then-attorney general Hendarman Supandji said Tommy misused loan money given to the agency to buy cloves from farmers. Tommy denied any wrongdoing. In 2008, the Attorney General's Office dropped the case on the grounds that Tommy had repaid the money.

In the early 1990s, Tommy acquired shares in one of three petrochemical plants proposed by Golden Key, a little-known Jakarta-based company headed by businessman Eddy Tansil. The state-owned Indonesian Development Bank (Bapindo) was pressured to provide 16 loans totalling $430 million to Tansil to build the plants, even though he had no experience in petrochemicals and provided no collateral. Bapindo did not check his creditworthiness. The plants were never built and Bapindo was left with bad loans. According to a June 1994 article by the Far Eastern Economic Review, Tommy was the alleged go-between, who introduced Tansil to Bapindo officials. Before the scandal broke in 1994, Tommy had the previous year sold his shares back to other owners of the company. Tommy was not summoned as a witness at the trial of Tansil, who was in August 1994 sentenced to 17 years in jail and then "escaped" in 1996 and left Indonesia. The fact that Tommy had been a co-owner of the company when it obtained the loans and then sold his stake after part of the loans had been drawn upon in cash was not mentioned during the trials of Tansil and Bapindo officials.

PT Bina Reksa Perdana, in which Tommy was a majority shareholder, in the 1990s received a monopoly on the export of explosives made by state-owned explosives company PT Dahana. In partnership with Singapore's Chartered Oiltech Services, the company developed an explosives factory in Tasikmalaya, West Java, to make commercial explosives for export to countries such as Myanmar, Iraq, India and Australia.

In the early 1990s, Tommy was in a relationship with singer Maya Rumantir and there was speculation they would be married. Tommy’s mother reportedly objected to the relationship because Maya is a Christian of Chinese-Manado heritage, whereas Tommy is a Javanese Muslim, so his parents preferred him to marry someone of Javanese royal lineage. In 2001, police questioned Maya during their search for Tommy when he was a fugitive. She denied hiding him.

1989

In 1989, Tommy and Suharto crony Bob Hasan bought PT Sempati Air Transport from a military company. In the 1990s, Sempati Air (as it was renamed) flew wealthy Indonesians to a popular gambling resort on Australia's Christmas Island. The resort's main investor, Robby Sumanpow, was also the marketing director of Tommy's notorious clove monopoly. Sempati Air folded due to bankruptcy in 1998 after Suharto resigned as Indonesian president. When Suharto was charged in 2000 with corruption over the misuse of funds from charitable foundations, the indictment stated that Sempati Air had received Rp 17.91 billion from Dakab foundation, Rp 13.17 billion from Supersemar foundation and Rp 11.168 billion from Dharmais foundation.

1988

On 11 March 1988, Tommy (then 25 years old) and his siblings for the first time attended the oath-taking ceremony of their father, for his fifth consecutive term, as president. Their presence prompted speculation the children would be groomed for political positions. Sure enough, Tommy, Tutut and Bambang joined Golkar, the dominant political entity of the Suharto regime, and in 1992 were installed as members of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR). Following Suharto's fall in May 1998, Golkar in July announced it had recalled Tommy, Tutut and Bambang (and Bambang's wife Halimah) from the MPR. Golkar officials in 2008 said they would not object to Suharto's children rejoining the party's board, provided they were not involved in any outstanding legal cases.

1987

In 1987, Suharto issued a presidential decree allowing state-owned toll road company Jasa Marga to engage national and foreign private investors in tollway projects. In 1989, Tommy formed a consortium, Marga Mandala Sakti (MMS), which lost a bid to his sister Tutut’s company to build Jakarta’s north harbor toll road, the North-South Link. MMS was however awarded the right to extend the Jakarta-Tangerang expressway another 73 km to the busy seaport of Merak. Humpuss constructed the toll road over 1992 to 1996. Tommy’s concession was in 1996 extended by 10 years to 2011. A consortium of foreign investors in late 1996 or early 1997 paid about Rp 425 billion ($181 million) for a majority stake in MMS.

1985

In 1985, Tommy acquired a 65% stake in Perta Oil Marketing, a subsidiary of state oil and gas company Pertamina. The acquisition allowed him to become a crude oil broker and transporter, receiving commissions of $0.30 to $0.35 a barrel. Perta brought in profits of $1 million per month.

1984

As one of Suharto's children, Tommy was entitled to nepotistic privileges that allowed him to amass great wealth. In 1984, at age 22, he founded his Humpuss Group, which achieved success not through talent or professionalism but because of patronage. Within 10 weeks of its founding, the group had 20 subsidiaries, which soon grew to 60.

1980

Tommy and his brother Bambang Trihatmodjo were also alleged to have imposed unofficial markups on oil exports and imports, reaping up to $200 million a year in the 1980s, prompting claims, "They milked Pertamina like a cow."

1965

On 27 September 1965, when three years old, Tommy suffered scalding to his face and body. He had been playing with his younger sister Mamiek in the family's house on Jalan Haji Agus Salim in Central Jakarta when he ran into his mother, who was carrying into the dining room a pot of boiling hot oxtail soup, which spilled over Tommy. His mother immediately applied a cod liver salve to his scalded and blistered skin. He was rushed to the 'Gatot Soebroto' Army Hospital in nearby Senen neighborhood. For the next three nights, Suharto visited Tommy at the hospital. The timing is significant in Indonesia's history because on the night of 30 September 1965, an abortive coup attempt was launched by elements of the military, shooting dead six generals at about 4  am on 1 October. Before the killings took place, Suharto was still at the hospital. At about midnight, Tien urged Suharto to return home to check on Mamiek, who had been left with a servant. He went home about 12.15  am and went to bed and was awoken at about 4.30  am by news of the shootings. Tommy and his mother left the hospital on the afternoon of 1 October, accompanied by Suharto's half-brother Probosutedjo and aide-de-camp (ADC) Wahyudi. Tommy and his siblings were then moved to the ADC’s residence in Kebayoran Baru, as it was considered safer.

1962

Hutomo Mandala Putra (born 15 July 1962), commonly known as Tommy Suharto, is a convicted murderer, an Indonesian businessman, politician and the youngest son of Suharto, the second President of Indonesia. He has long had a reputation for being a playboy and gained notoriety for commissioning the murder of a judge who convicted him of corruption. He is currently the chairman of Berkarya Party.

Tommy was born in Jakarta on 15 July 1962, the fifth child of Major-General Suharto and Siti Hartinah, better known as Ibu (Mrs) Tien. His siblings are Siti Hardiyanti Astuti 'Tutut' Rukmana, Sigit Harjojudanto, Bambang Trihatmodjo, Siti 'Titiek' Hediati and Siti Hutami 'Mamiek' Endang Adiningsih.

His middle name comes from the Indonesian military's Mandala Command for the Liberation of West Irian (Komando Mandala Pembebasan Irian Barat), which was formed in January 1962 and led by Major-General Suharto with the aim of removing the Dutch from the territory of Netherlands New Guinea (West Papua). Suharto wrote in his autobiography that Tommy's middle name served as a reminder of the Mandala assignment.
