Suharto heads list of accused thieving politicians
By Jakarta correspondent Geoff Thompson

The United Nations and the World Bank have placed Indonesia's former president 
Suharto at the top of a list of the world's highest-earning political leaders 
accused of stealing state assets.

The UN and World Bank listing comes a week after Indonesia's Supreme Court 
ordered Time magazine to pay $129 million in damages to the former dictator for 
a 1999 article accusing him and his family of amassing billions of dollars 
during his 32 years in power. 

The list is part of the Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative, which is aimed at 
giving teeth to provisions of the UN treaty to fight global corruption. 

Suharto tops the list with an estimated $18 to $42 billion
