The press conference was used to explain the chronology of the smuggling of Harley Davidson motorcycles and Brompton bicycles using Garuda Indonesia\'s new aircraft.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS - The smuggling of a secondhand Harley Davidson motorcycle and a Brompton unfolding bicycle, which were transported by a new Garuda Indonesia Airbus A330-900neo with flight number GA9721 during its ferry flight from France appears to have been well planned.

The smuggling case has tarnished governance at state-owned enterprises. State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) Minister Erick Thohir said that based on a report by the Garuda Indonesia audit committee and board of commissioners, the case could involve more than one person.
