DOKTOR SELAMAT GINTING: BELASAN JENDERAL POLRI AKAN JADI TERSANGKA

Summary

The program discusses allegations that senior Indonesian police officers used state-owned surveillance equipment to wiretap President Prabowo Subianto and other officials, including ministers and political-party leaders. Political and military analyst Dr. Selamat Ginting says the equipment was allegedly moved from police premises to officers’ homes and used for personal or political purposes.

Ginting claims that officers were questioned or detained, and that one officer said the surveillance had been ordered by former police chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo. He names several other officers as potentially involved and suggests that more generals could become suspects. Some names are unclear in the transcript, and the discussion does not independently establish these allegations.

Ginting describes the alleged operation as a serious abuse of state power—“a state within a state”—and speculates that it may be connected to other matters, including alleged extortion and mining-related cases. He also suggests that President Prabowo is angry and that the police are conducting a purge of figures associated with Sigit, which he calls “desigitization.” Ginting urges anyone involved to surrender and says the government should publicly explain the case.

The discussion also turns to broader political commentary. Ginting argues that parliament and other oversight bodies have failed to scrutinize the police adequately, calls for stronger institutional accountability, and speculates about possible political repercussions. These broader claims and predictions are presented as his opinions, not as established findings.
