Indonesia's national airline Garuda's chief executive Ari Askhara is being dismissed over allegations of smuggling a classic motorbike into the country. Mr Askhara has been accused of avoiding up to $107,000 (£82,000) in customs duties. The case was brought to light after he failed to declare the importation of a Harley Davidson and two folding bikes. The state-owned Enterprises Ministry is investigating the matter.
