Prabowo discusses spying probe with former police chiefs: lawmaker

Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto discussed the ongoing illegal wiretapping investigation during a gathering with 10 former National Police chiefs at his private residence in Hambalang, Bogor, a senior lawmaker said Monday.

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Sufmi Dasco Ahmad confirmed that the unauthorized surveillance probe was among the topics raised during the Sunday meeting, which brought together top current and former police leadership.

"What I heard is that there was indeed a little discussion about that, about the illegal wiretapping," Dasco told reporters at the parliamentary complex in Jakarta, adding that the matter remains under active investigation by law enforcement.

The meeting took place as criminal investigators examine an unauthorized wiretapping operation targeting President Prabowo, government officials, and civil society members.

The scheme allegedly involves four-star general and former police chief LSP, along with several senior officers.

Beyond the surveillance case, Prabowo outlined his administration's economic vision and requested support from the former police leaders to drive national development, according to Dasco.

Attending the gathering alongside National Police Chief Gen. Suyudi Ario Seto were former police chiefs including Tito Karnavian, Badrodin Haiti, Sutarman, Timur Pradopo, Bambang Hendarso Danuri, Sutanto, Da’i Bachtiar, Surojo Bimantoro, Roesmanhadi, and Rusdiharjo.
