National Police Chief Gen. Suyudi Ario Seto told lawmakers in Jakarta Thursday that police had filed a separate report alleging treason tied to suspected wiretapping of President Prabowo Subianto.
Seto said the wider inquiry covers suspected interception of communications, unauthorized access to electronic systems and destruction of electronic documents. Police have named four senior officers as suspects, as EconoTimes reported in an earlier account of the probe’s focus on officer approval.
Seto’s account named Prabowo, palace officials, lawmakers, political figures, governors and regional police chiefs among the alleged targets. Personnel at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and Attorney General’s Office were also listed, along with civil society groups, activists and students.
Seto said investigators were tracing the orders behind the alleged wiretapping and its purpose, while examining personnel suspected of knowing about it. He added that investigators need more evidence to support the treason allegation.
