The co-founder of super-app Gojek who became Indonesia's education minister has been sentenced to several years in jail.
Nadiem Makarim, 41, was found guilty of corruption over a controversial laptop deal. He received a 10-year prison sentence, but faces more jailtime as he is unable to pay restitution. He had pleaded not guilty.
Nadiem left Gojek in 2019 to join the government of previous president Joko Widodo, and served as education minister until 2024.
