Nadiem Makarim, who was also ex-Gojek CEO, is accused of favouring Google’s Chromebook for procurement and causing US$120 million state loss

Centred on the country’s digital education push from 2019 to 2022, the case took a dramatic turn on Thursday when Nadiem was taken into custody by the Attorney General’s Office after a third round of questioning.

He will be held for 20 days at a detention centre in South Jakarta while the investigation continues.
