JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - The youngest son of former dictator Suharto was paroled from prison Monday after serving less than a third of his 15-year sentence for ordering the assassination of a Supreme Court judge.
The speed with which Hutomo Mandala Putra, known as Tommy, served his sentence left some questioning whether anything has changed since pro-democracy riots forced his father to step down in 1998 following 32 years of brutal and corrupt rule.
Members of Suharto's family were considered untouchable during his reign, and few have been punished since.
