Selamat Ginting Beberkan Kronologi Awal Terbongkarnya Dugaan Penyadapan Presiden | Sindo Sore |04/11

Summary

The report outlines allegations that senior police officials ran an illegal wiretapping operation targeting President Prabowo Subianto and other public figures.

According to the commentary, police equipment detected a signal resembling radar, which investigators traced to a device at a senior officer’s home. The account says an officer who resisted arrest was taken to Mako Brimob and allegedly stated that the operation had been ordered by former National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo. It further claims that devices were operating at the homes of several senior officers after equipment was moved from police headquarters.

The suspected targets reportedly included state officials, political figures, journalists and media organizations, community organizations, NGOs, and businesspeople. The report describes alleged wiretapping without proper legal authorization, unauthorized access to electronic systems, and deletion of electronic records. The alleged activity took place in 2025–2026, with traces reportedly erased in October 2026.

The report identifies Listyo Sigit Prabowo, Inspector General Ahri Sution, and Inspector General Eko Hadi Santoso as suspects, while also mentioning other officials who were arrested or questioned. The allegations and the roles of individuals were presented as part of an ongoing investigation.

Reactions

Former President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono expressed surprise and concern about what he called increasingly uncontrolled political practices, warning that people could feel unsafe in their own country. He urged President Prabowo to address the state of Indonesian politics.

Mahfud MD said unauthorized wiretapping would be a serious crime and called for a transparent investigation into who ordered it and why. He also said allegations of surveillance targeting political and civic figures should be examined.

The PDI-P condemned the alleged wiretapping as an abuse of power and a violation of human and democratic rights, particularly because the President was reportedly among those targeted. The party praised the police for pursuing the case and called for a full investigation into everyone involved. It also described the case as an opportunity to strengthen the rule of law and police accountability.
