Indonesian ISP Moratel announces Google's prefixes

OK one quick question here - Moratel leaked route and thus for a portion of
internet route to Google was via Moratel but was a path. What caused 100%
outage I.e all four authoritative DNS servers and open resolver service too
?  Can we just guess that due to ultra high traffic path between Moratel
and Google was checked ?

Or there's a chance that some customer of Moratel announced prefix using
Google's ASN at first place. Hard to believe why they would have set bgp
session in first place with wrong asn but was curious to know if that is
also a possibility?

 Thanks
