Adiguna, spoilt brat of famed tycoon
Abdul Khalik,
The Jakarta Post
The fatal shooting on New Year's Day at the Hilton
Hotel's Fluid Club, Central Jakarta, has raised the
profile of Adiguna Sutowo, the sole suspect in the
case, higher than his famous elder brother Ponco
Sutowo.
Before the murder of Yohannes "Rudy" Berchmans Haerudy
Natong, the public were only familiar with two of the
seven children of the late Ibnu Sutowo, a former
director of state-owned oil and gas company Pertamina.
Ponco was known for his business and political
ambitions, while Endang Utari Mokodompit came into the
spotlight for her connection to liquidated Pacific
Bank.
Adiguna, the youngest, was known more as a former
national racer than a businessman.
Adiguna became involved at a young age in the family's
businesses under the umbrella Nugra Santana Group,
which inherited countless assets and cash from Ibnu, a
three-star general who was said to have been the
treasurer of the Soeharto administration, under which
Pertamina almost single-handedly generated revenue
during the oil boom of the mid-1970s and early 1980s.
In 1977, while he was still a high schooler, Adiguna
married Indri, with whom he has two surviving children
-- their eldest son Adri died several years ago in a
traffic incident on Jl. Sudirman.
After graduating in 1981 from the University of
Southern California, Los Angeles, Adiguna returned to
the country and became president director of PT
Adiguna Mesin Tani, which now distributes diesel
engines nationally.
Adiguna was later entrusted with managing PT Santana
Petroleum Equipment and shipping company PT Pelayaran
Umum Indonesia (Pelumin), from which Pertamina has
leased several ships.
In 1985, Adiguna established PT Mugi Rekso Abadi with
several friends including Tommy Soeharto, Soetikno
Soedardjo and Onky Soemarmo.
The firm owns the Hard Rock Cafe franchise in Jakarta,
and later expanded into a holding company for
Adiguna's entertainment, communication and hospitality
businesses, including MTV radio, i-radio, Cosmopolitan
and FHM, as well as the Zoom bar and lounge, BC Bar
and Cafe 21.
In the pharmaceutical industry, he owns manufacturer
PT Suntri Sepuri. Adiguna currently holds key posts in
over 20 companies.
In 1990, Adiguna married his second wife Vika, with
whom he has two children.
As the youngest in the affluent family, his mother
Zaleha reportedly spoiled him. For example, during his
high school days, he had driven his own Mercedes-Benz
sports car to school.
A fellow rally driver said Adiguna always got what he
wanted -- and would do anything to get it. If someone
was in his way on the racetrack, he would simply push
them out of the way.
While Adiguna's lawyer has repeatedly denied his
abusing drugs, a source at city police headquarters
claimed that Adiguna was a regular user of cocaine.
The police have also announced that Adiguna's blood
tested positive for drugs in the Hilton shooting.
Adiguna is also known to be trigger-happy, according
to a source at National Police headquarters, and had
been involved in at least three shooting incidents
before the Hilton case.
No fatalities were reported in the other cases,
although his gun license was revoked by police when
Adiguna shot through the ear of singer Achmad Albar's
nephew in October 2003 at T-Box Cafe, Kemang.
