Hutomo Mandala Putra (born 15 July 1962), commonly known as Tommy Suharto, is an Indonesian businessman and politician. The youngest son of Suharto, the second President of Indonesia, he has long had a reputation of nepotism, corruption, and being a playboy. He gained notoriety for orchestrating the assassination of a judge who convicted him of corruption.[3] He was convicted of murder in 2002 and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment, but was paroled in under four years.[4]

Since 2020, he has been involved in a leadership dispute with Muchdi Purwopranjono over control of the Berkarya Party.
