Indonesian prosecutors are seeking an 18-year prison sentence for Nadiem Anwar Makarim, the co-founder of ride-hailing firm Gojek and a former education minister, in a corruption case involving the procurement of Chromebooks. Multiple outlets report that the demand is made as part of a months-long trial that is nearing a verdict. The allegations relate to the Chromebook procurement, which prosecutors frame as graft. If the court grants the 18-year term, it would be among the most severe punishments imposed on a former senior government official in recent years, according to one report. The case has drawn attention because Makarim is a prominent technology figure in Indonesia. Prosecutors are asking for a lengthy custodial sentence, while the defence is not described in the provided coverage. The trial proceedings move toward a final ruling by the court, with the prosecutors’ request representing the most significant formal penalty position taken so far.
