JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesian presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto faced fresh accusations of criminal behaviour on Thursday after his former boss released details of a military council's findings that led to his discharge from the armed forces nearly 16 years ago.

Opinion polls suggest that Prabowo has been closing in on the front-runner ahead of the July 9 presidential election.
