JAKARTA: Nadiem Makarim's legal team contends that the procurement of Google Chromebook laptops during his tenure as education minister had previously been cleared in two government audits, as it contests the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) decision to name him as a corruption suspect.

The AGO is investigating the multitrillion-rupiah procurement of Chromebooks between 2019 and 2022, which was part of Nadiem’s school digitalisation programme at the then-education, culture, research and technology ministry.
