JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (AGO) forcibly picked up Ibrahim Arief, a former consultant at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek).
The Head of the Attorney General's Office, Harli Siregar, said that the step was taken to investigate the alleged corruption case in the procurement of a Chrome OS or Chromebook-based laptop.
"Yes, he was brought in, he was being investigated," said Harli to VOI, Tuesday, July 15.
The forced pick-up was carried out because investigators considered Ibrahim Arief's statement to be very necessary at this time. However, it was not conveyed detailing what would be extracted from the former consultant at the Ministry of Education and Culture.
"Yes, if investigators feel they have to be taken, just take it, to make it easier," said Harli.

Regarding the possibility that Ibrahim Arief would be confronted with Nadiem Makarim's testimony, Harli denied it. Because, both of them are still witnesses.
However, the examination process of both aims to make clear the alleged corruption case being investigated by the AGO.
"No, it's normal to investigate. If the confrontation is only carried out on witnesses and suspects. This status is still a witness," said Harli.
