Tommy likely to be moved to Nusakambangan on Thursday: The
convicted son of former president Soeharto, Hutomo "Tommy"
Mandala Putra, is scheduled to be flown by helicopter from his
cell in Cipinang penitentiary in East Jakarta to a high security
prison on Nusakambangan island, Central Java, on Thursday.
Tommy's lawyer Elza Syarief told detik.com news portal on
Wednesday that he had received a letter from the warden at
Cipinang penitentiary about the planned move, and Tommy had
packed his belongings. Asked when Tommy would be moved, Elza
said: "I don't know. Maybe tomorrow (Thursday)." She said the
timing was not right for Tommy. "This is too soon as he will
spend 15 years in jail. He needs some time to adjust mentally."
