===Munir murder (2004β2006)=== On 7 September 2004, Garuda's reputation suffered further damage when human rights activist [[Munir Said Thalib]], travelling to Amsterdam via Singapore on Garuda Indonesia Flight 974, was assassinated by off-duty pilot [[Pollycarpus Priyanto]], who slipped arsenic into his drink sometime before the departure of the flight's second leg to Amsterdam. Munir was reported to have felt unwell several hours after departure from Singapore, during which time he was checked on by a doctor who happened to be on board and moved to the business class cabin to sleep. He died about two hours before arrival in Amsterdam, sparking an international controversy, during which time Priyanto, CEO Indra Setiawan, and deputy Rohainil Aini were all convicted of his murder, although it has been alleged it was under orders from the [[State Intelligence Agency (Indonesia)|Indonesian State Intelligence Agency]] (Badan Intelijen Negara).<ref>{{cite web| url=http://thejakartaglobe.beritasatu.com/archive/wikileaks-us-cables-point-to-bin-role-in-munir-murder/| title=WikiLeaks US Cables Point to BIN Role in Munir Murder| access-date=5 February 2019| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626110140/http://thejakartaglobe.beritasatu.com/archive/wikileaks-us-cables-point-to-bin-role-in-munir-murder/| archive-date=26 June 2015| url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=autogenerated3>{{cite news|title=Pilot guilty of activist murder|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7208597.stm|access-date=6 September 2013|publisher=BBC|date=25 January 2008}}</ref><ref name=autogenerated5>{{cite news|title=Denied letter, activists to push to reopen Munir case|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2012/01/05/denied-letter-activists-push-reopen-munir-case.html|access-date=6 September 2013|newspaper=The Jakarta Post|date=5 January 2012}}</ref> The airline was found negligent in failing to perform an emergency landing and was ordered to pay compensation to Munir's widow,<ref name=autogenerated4>{{cite news|title=Judicial Commission tells Garuda to pay|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/02/20/judicial-commission-tells-garuda-pay.html|access-date=6 September 2013|newspaper=The Jakarta Post|date=20 February 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131018012805/http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/02/20/judicial-commission-tells-garuda-pay.html|archive-date=18 October 2013}}</ref> but failed to do so.<ref name="autogenerated6">{{cite news|title=Court summons Garuda over Munir death compensation|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/06/14/court-summons-garuda-over-munir-death-compensation.html|access-date=6 September 2013|newspaper=The Jakarta Post|date=14 June 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131018012944/http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/06/14/court-summons-garuda-over-munir-death-compensation.html|archive-date=18 October 2013}}</ref>
