Nadiem Makarim, the former education minister, is now on trial. He was arrested for buying many Chromebook laptops. Prosecutors say this purchase caused big money losses for the state.
Prosecutors believe Mr. Makarim made money for himself. This was from the Chromebooks for schools. He allegedly pushed for Google's Chromebooks, even with warnings.
The purchase of many Chromebooks helped Google in education. Prosecutors connect this to Google's investment in GoTo. Google invested about $787 million in the parent company of Gojek.
Mr. Makarim said he did nothing wrong. He did not get money from the purchases. If found guilty, he could go to prison for a very long time.
