A court in Central Jakarta sentenced the former CEO of Garuda Indonesia to five years in prison on Wednesday for corruption related to the procurement of jets from Bombardier and ATR, according to his lawyer. Prosecutors revealed that Emirsyah Satar, who led Garuda from 2005 to 2014, acquired Bombardier CRJ and ATR 72 aircraft without following proper procedures or obtaining board approval in 2011, according to court documents. The lack of transparency led to the jets’ poor performance, resulting in a $610 million loss for the state. Judge Rianto Adam Pontoh from the Jakarta Corruption Court sentenced Emirsyah on corruption charges and imposed a 500 million rupiah ($30,760) fine, as reported by state news agency Antara. In 2020, Emirsyah was sentenced to eight years for bribery and money laundering in connection with the purchase of planes and engines from Airbus and Rolls-Royce. His lawyer, Monang Sagala, confirmed the verdict to Reuters but stated no decision has been made on whether to appeal.
Garuda and ATR declined to comment, while Bombardier stated that, following best practices, an internal review was launched with the help of external counsel when the allegations surfaced.
