Indonesia Arrests Chief of Staff and Top Police Officers for Alleged Wiretapping
Indonesian authorities have arrested three senior police officers, including President Prabowo Subianto's chief of staff, Listyo Sigit Prabowo, on suspicion of illegal wiretapping. The alleged surveillance targeted the president, officials, journalists, politicians, and business figures from 2025 to this year. Officials say the investigation is in its early stages, with no evidence or motive established yet. The probe adds pressure on President Prabowo amid declining approval ratings and economic challenges.
