Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said in a statement the CEO of Garuda from 2005 to 2014 was suspected of taking bribes related to the purchase of aircraft and engines from Airbus and Rolls-Royce. The CEO of Garuda from 2005 to 2014 was Emirsyah Satar, who is now chairman of Lippo Group's e-commerce platform MatahariMall.com.
Satar has denied any wrongdoing, telling Reuters: “As far as I know, when I was the CEO of PT Garuda Indonesia, I had never done corrupt activities and I did not receive anything that was related to my position," Satar said.
