 JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Prosecutors filed a civil lawsuit Monday against former Indonesian dictator Suharto, seeking $1.54 billion in damages and funds allegedly stolen from the state during his 32 years in power.
"This is not a criminal case against corruption, but a civil lawsuit," public prosecutor Dachamer Munthe said. "We just want the money back. It could be used for the development of this country."
Court documents show prosecutors want Suharto, 86, to repay $441 million in allegedly stolen funds and $1.1 billion in damages.
