ASKHARA Danadiputra, President Director of Garuda Indonesia, is set to be “relieved of his position” after accusations he attempted to smuggle a new Harley Davidson motorbike into the country on the delivery flight of a new Airbus A330neo aircraft.
Customs officials discovered the high end contraband aboard the flight when it arrived from Toulouse last month.
Askhara was aboard the flight with other officials, some of whom have also been accused of trying to bring in folding bicycles found in the undeclared cargo.
According to the Jakarta Post the items were liable for excise duty of over US$100,000.
