As the first trial in the Chromebook corruption case looms on December 23, 2025, Nadiem Makarim's lawyer insists the former minister is still recovering from surgery and cannot attend, clashing with the Attorney General's Office claim that he is healthy. This uncertainty clouds proceedings at the Jakarta Corruption Court.
The reading of the indictment against Nadiem Anwar Makarim in the alleged corruption case over Chromebook laptop and Chrome Device Management procurement at the Ministry of Education (2019-2022) is set for December 23, 2025, at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court. The schedule was delayed from December 16 due to Nadiem's detention suspension for illness and surgery.
Legal advisor Dodi Abdulkadir told reporters his client remains in recovery: "No doctor update yet. Legally, he cannot attend until declared healthy." This contrasts with Attorney General's Office (AGO) Legal Information Center Head Anang Supriatna, who cited prosecutors' info: "The doctors say he is healthy and can resume activities." Anang added, "We'll see developments tomorrow."
Indictment readings for co-suspects Sri Wahyuningsih, Ibrahim, and Mulyatsyah occurred on December 16; Jurist Tan remains at large. Prior updates detailed allegations including Rp809.59 billion flows to Nadiem-linked entities and Rp2.18 trillion state losses.
The health disagreement underscores procedural hurdles in the case.
