Published 2026-11-04

Former Chief of the Indonesian National Police (Kapolri), Listyo Sigit, has been named a suspect in an alleged case of wiretapping against President Prabowo Subianto. This information was reported by BBC Indonesia. The designation of a suspect has drawn public attention because it involves a former senior state official and the head of state.

The Presidential Palace has responded to this case. The Palace stated that the alleged act 'points to acts of treason'. Treason (makar) is an act aimed at overthrowing or disrupting a legitimate government, and under Indonesian law this action is classified as a crime against state security. With this statement, the Palace indicates that the case is considered serious.

As of the time this report was written, the available information remains limited. Details regarding the evidence held, the ongoing legal process, and an official response from Listyo Sigit's side have not been fully explained in the available sources. The public needs to await further developments from the authorities.

This case is among the main points of attention in Indonesian politics and law at present. The public is expected to follow official information from law enforcement agencies and the government so as not to readily believe unverified reports.
