In May 1999, a Time Asia estimated Suharto's family fortune at
US$15 billion in cash, shares, corporate assets, real estate,
jewelry and fine art. Of this, US$9 billion is reported to have
been deposited in an Austrian bank. The family is said to control
about 36,000 km² of real estate in Indonesia, including 100,000 m²
of prime office space in Jakarta and nearly 40 percent of the land
in East Timor. Over US$73 billion is said to have passed through
the family's hands during Suharto's 32-year rule.
On May 29, 2000, Suharto was placed under house arrest when
Indonesian authorities began to investigate the corruption during
his regime. In July, it was announced that he was to be accused of
embezzling US$571 million of government donations to one of a
number of foundations under his control and then using the money to
finance family investments. But in September court-appointed
doctors announced that he could not stand trial because of his
declining health. State prosecutors tried again in 2002 but then
doctors cited an unspecified brain disease.
According to Transparency International, Suharto embezzled more
money than any other world leader in history with the estimated US
$1535 billion embezzlement during his 32 years rule.[28]
