In early July ~~2026,~~ 2026 a birthday greeting from Vice‑Speaker Dasco to former ~~Indonesian~~ education minister Nadiem Makarim ~~was reported, prompting~~ sparked speculation that ~~the gesture~~ it might signal forthcoming legal assistance in his ongoing corruption case. By early ~~August 2026,~~ August, the Jakarta High Court held the first appeal hearing. Makarim’s ~~legal team~~ lawyers submitted a 14‑point memory of appeal challenging factual and legal aspects of the original judgment, ~~while~~ including a conflict‑of‑interest claim over his former minority shareholding in PT Aplikasi Karya Anak Bangsa (AKAB) and the calculation of the state loss, which the court had recorded at about 1.56 trillion rupiah. The Attorney General’s Office also ~~filed~~ lodged an appeal. During the hearing Makarim expressed optimism, describing the case as a “criminalisation” of his actions, urging judges to re‑examine the evidence, consider new witnesses and address alleged procedural irregularities. Both parties continue to seek a re‑examination of the evidence and a possible reduction of the 10‑year prison sentence, fine and restitution.
