Several reports say an Indian-origin businessman allegedly posed as a CIA agent to pursue defence business with Indonesia. NDTV and India Today report that the man cultivated relationships connected to Indonesia’s top leadership, and that he specifically sought contact with President Prabowo Subianto, who previously served as Indonesia’s defence minister. NDTV adds that the businessman reportedly developed ties with Subianto and used the nickname “Mr G.” Times of India describes the same core allegation, saying the businessman “poses” as a CIA agent and “woos” the Indonesian president to secure a defence deal.
Breitbart similarly reports that the businessman allegedly presented himself as a CIA operative in an attempt to win a major defence deal with Indonesia, characterizing it as a large transaction. Across the outlets, the central points are the alleged impersonation of a CIA role and the effort to secure defence-related business through Indonesia’s president and defence-linked channels. The reports do not provide confirmed details about the deal’s terms, timeline, or outcome in the material provided, and do not quote official responses from intelligence or Indonesian authorities.
