Jakarta – A son of former President Suharto has been charged with corruption, along with a former senior official and another businessman, an Indonesian official said Monday.

The case was handed over to prosecutors on Friday, said Antonius Sujata, a junior attorney general for special crimes. Prosecutors have seven days to decide whether they have enough evidence against the men to proceed to trial, Suyata said.

"They are charged with corruption," Suyata said. "If found guilty, the three could face a maximum penalty of 20 years."

The charges against Hutomo Mandala Putra, popularly known as Tommy Suharto, involve a 1997 land deal. The first in Suharto's family to face charges, though the regime was accused of rampant cronyism, he denies any wrongdoing.

The charges stem from a multimillion-dollar deal involving a real estate swap between the state logistics agency, called Bulog, and Goro, a private company partly owned by Tommy Suharto. The other two suspects are then-Bulog Chairman Beddu Amang and Goro President Ricardo Gelael.

Under the transaction, Goro built a retail center on land owned by Bulog in an affluent residential area of Jakarta. But Goro allegedly failed to give 63 hectares of land to Bulog, in violation of the agreement.

Sujata said violation of the agreement has cost the state 96 billion rupiahs, or about $10.6 million.
