Today, Nadiem Makarim Presents Duplik in the Chromebook Case Hearing

JAKARTA - The defendant in the alleged corruption case in the procurement of Chromebooks, Nadiem Makarim, is scheduled to undergo a follow-up trial at the Corruption Court (Tipikor) in Central Jakarta on Tuesday, June 23.

The agenda of the trial this time is the reading of the duplik or the final response from the defendant to the replik previously submitted by the public prosecutor (JPU).

The trial is scheduled to take place starting at 10.00 WIB in the Prof. Dr. H. Muhammad Hatta Ali courtroom, based on the Case Tracking Information System (SIPP) of the Central Jakarta District Court.

Information regarding the agenda of the trial was also conveyed through the Instagram account @nadiemmakarim.

"Duplik Nadiem and the Legal Advisory Team will be submitted on June 23, 2026," the statement read.

The reading of the duplik is one of the important stages in the trial process because it is the last opportunity for the defendant and the legal team to respond to the prosecutor's arguments before the panel of judges enters the deliberation stage and reads the verdict.

In the previous hearing, the former Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology stated his belief that the corruption charges against him were not proven in the trial.

Nadiem even hopes that the panel of judges will give a pure acquittal in the case that has entangled him.

"My case is very unique, all four elements of corruption have not been proven. So yes, my great hope is that there will be a pure free decision," said Nadiem when reading a response to the prosecutor's reply at the trial last week.

According to him, all elements that are the basis of the prosecutor's indictment cannot be proven during the trial. Therefore, he considers that there is no sufficient legal basis to declare himself guilty in the alleged corruption case for the procurement of Chromebooks.

After the duplicate hearing was held, the panel of judges will continue the case with a deliberation agenda before passing a verdict on Nadiem Makarim.
