Who has been the most controversial president in all of history?

José Alberto

This man went unnoticed and it is that behind his "tender grandpa" appearance, he did things that many would lose sleep over.

He ruled Indonesia for more than thirty years and during his long term he ordered the murder of almost a million "communists" (people who did not sympathize with his ideas). Not content with that, he invaded East Timor, where he ordered the execution of two hundred thousand people. Just to give you an idea, in a country as small as Timor that is 1/3 of the population.

I'm talking about nothing more and nothing less than Haji Mohammad Suharto, one of the cruelest dictators in history, accused of drug smuggling, promoting torture, and stealing, and when I talk about stealing, I'm talking about about 35 billion dollars.

A good part of the state budget fund went directly to the personal accounts of the former dictator.

And after thirty long years of doing and undoing, he resigned.

The worst of all?

He was never indicted on any charges, he died peacefully in a hospital bed surrounded by loved ones.

Undoubtedly one of the most ruthless and controversial rulers that has ever existed.
