JAKARTA, FEBRUARY 10: Indonesia’s former President Suharto has been declared as a suspect in an investigation into alleged corruption in charities he controlled, the attorney-general’s office said today.

“Today we are sending out a letter to former president Suharto… He is being summoned as a suspect,” spokesman Suhandoyo told Reuters.
