Indonesian police detain senior police figures over an alleged wiretapping operation targeting President Prabowo Subianto and other prominent people. Across multiple reports, three senior police generals are named as suspects, with allegations focused on illegal phone tapping over a period spanning 2025 into 2026 (or “2025 to this year”).
Several outlets also include the president’s chief of staff among those detained or accused, expanding the scope beyond police. Bloomberg adds that a former national police chief, Listyo Sigit Prabowo, is among those arrested, while other outlets frame the case more generally around senior policing figures and alleged access to communications involving government officials and others.
Coverage largely agrees on the core allegation—illegal wiretapping of Prabowo and multiple other high-profile figures—and on the key number of senior police involved. The main differences are which specific officials are listed (chief of staff and/or ex-police chief) and the breadth of the alleged targets as described by each outlet.
