The youngest son of former dictator Suharto went on trial on charges that he ordered the assassination of a judge who had ruled against him in a graft case.
Hutomo Mandala Putra, known informally as Tommy Suharto, smiled and waved at onlookers as he arrived in handcuffs under heavy security. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.
Prosecutors have alleged that Suharto's millionaire son paid two hit men $10,000 to kill Supreme Court Judge Syafiuddin Kartasasmita, who had sentenced Tommy to 18 months in prison for a real estate scam. Two assassins on a motorbike shot the judge at close range five times on July 26, 2001. Police say the gunmen have confessed that they were working for Tommy.
