Tommy gets another sentence cut

SEMARANG: The youngest son of former president Soeharto, Hutomo
"Tommy" Mandala Putra, will likely get a sentence reduction of
one month and 15 days on Idul Fitri.

"The remission will be given after Thursday morning prayers,"
said Soetomo Rahardjo, who heads the penitentiary division of the
Central Java office of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights,
on Monday.

This will be the second remission given to Tommy this year
after his time was cut on Independence Day in August by nine
months and 20 days.

Tommy was jailed to 15 years' imprisonment for his involvement
in the murder of a judge. However, the Supreme Court later
reduced his sentence to 10 years.

Special remission in the sentences of 2,721 prisoners in
Central Java will be granted on Idul Fitri. -- Antara
