Nadiem Makarim judicial ethics controversy

Entities: Jakarta High Court · Purwanto S. Abdullah · Nadiem Makarim · Judicial Commission of Indonesia · GoTo

Overview

In early July 2026, former Indonesian education minister Nadiem Makarim lodged formal complaints with the Judicial Commission, accusing four judges of the Jakarta Corruption Court of breaching judicial ethics during his Chromebook procurement corruption trial.

By early August, Makarim’s legal team had moved to capitalize on those allegations, asking the appellate court to factor the potential misconduct into its review of his appeal scheduled for 5 August 2026. The lawyers also urged the Jakarta High Court to re‑examine the trial’s evidence and methodology, highlighting concerns about chief judge Purwanto S. Abdullah, who had previously faced sanctions for an ethics breach.
