        "content": "<p>The verdict hearing for the alleged Chromebook corruption case, which\nnames former Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology\nfor the 2019\u20132024 period Nadiem Anwar Makarim as a defendant, is\nscheduled for Tuesday (30\/6). Presiding Judge Purwanto Abdullah stated\nthat the panel had originally intended to deliver the verdict on\nThursday (25\/6), but due to his somewhat impaired health, additional\ntime was needed to finalise the ruling. \u201cAfter this, we will deliberate.\nThe defendant is to attend the next session scheduled for Tuesday, 30\nJune 2026,\u201d the Presiding Judge said during the rejoinder hearing at the\nCorruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court on Tuesday. The\nPresiding Judge noted that all arguments, evidence, and opinions have\nbeen heard openly by all parties during the trial. Therefore, the time\nhas come for the panel of judges, with clear hearts and firm conviction,\nto deliberate and deliver a verdict, entrusting all justice to the\nreading of the ruling. Nadiem is one of the defendants in the alleged\ncorruption case involving the education digitalisation programme,\nspecifically the procurement of Chromebook laptops and Chrome Device\nManagement (CDM) within the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research,\nand Technology from 2019 to 2022. He was previously sentenced to 18\nyears\u2019 imprisonment, a fine of Rp1 billion, subsidiary to 190 days\u2019\nimprisonment, and restitution of Rp5.67 trillion, subsidiary to 9 years\u2019\nimprisonment. The alleged corruption includes carrying out the\nprocurement of information and communication technology-based learning\ntools in the form of Chromebook laptops and CDM for the 2020, 2021, and\n2022 fiscal years, which did not comply with procurement planning and\nprinciples. The actions of the founder of a technology company were\ncharged as having been committed jointly with three other defendants in\nseparate trials, namely Ibrahim Arief alias Ibam, Mulyatsyah, and Sri\nWahyuningsih, as well as Jurist Tan, who remains at large. In detail,\nthe resulting state losses include Rp1.56 trillion related to the\neducation digitalisation programme at the Ministry, and USD 44.05\nmillion, equivalent to Rp621.39 billion, due to the procurement of\nunnecessary and useless CDM for the programme. Through these actions,\nNadiem allegedly received Rp809.59 billion originating from PT Aplikasi\nKarya Anak Bangsa (PT AKAB) via PT Gojek Indonesia. It was stated that a\nlarge portion of PT AKAB\u2019s funds came from a Google investment worth USD\n786.99 million. This can be seen from Nadiem\u2019s wealth recorded in the\nState Officials\u2019 Wealth Report (LHKPN) in 2022, which showed the\nacquisition of securities worth Rp5.59 trillion. For his actions, the\nformer Minister of Education and Culture faces criminal charges under\nArticle 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of\nLaw Number 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption,\nas amended and supplemented by Law Number 20 of 2001, in conjunction\nwith Article 55 paragraph (1) sub-paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.<\/p>",
