JAKARTA, Aug 11 : Indonesia's Supreme Court has ordered the family of ex-president Suharto to pay back millions in embezzled funds to the state, a spokesman said on Tuesday. Suharto, who after 32 years of iron-fisted rule was brought down by widespread protests in 1998, was accused of massive corruption and nepotism benefiting his family and cronies. The Supreme Court ruling marks the first time the family has been held accountable in any significant way for Suharto's alleged wrongdoing. ?REUTERS
