  "summary": "The Jakarta High Court has increased the prison sentence of Ibrahim Arief, a former technology consultant linked to ex-education minister Nadiem Makarim, in a corruption case tied to the procurement of Chromebooks for Indonesian schools. The panel of judges sentenced Arief to five years in prison, one year longer than the initial four-year sentence handed down by the Jakarta Corruption Court. The court also ordered Arief to pay a fine of around US$30,800 and compensation of about US$308,000. The case has drawn attention in Indonesia due to its proximity to one of Southeast Asia’s most recognizable technology figures, Nadiem Makarim, who co-founded Gojek and served as Education Minister.",
