Sulseltimes.com, Jakarta, Selasa, 10/11/2026 — Puan Maharani calls on Polri to investigate illegal wiretapping of President Prabowo transparently and professionally, warning against misuse of state power.
Puan’s demand for transparent investigation
Puan made the call during the opening speech of the new DPR session, praising police for swift action and stressing that state authority must not be used for political interests or to silence critics. ““DPR mengapresiasi tindakan Kepolisian yang sigap dalam menangani kasus penyadapan presiden,” kata Puan Maharani, Ketua DPR RI, Selasa, 10/11/2026.”
She reminded law enforcers to act professionally, independently, and not become tools of any power. ““Kewenangan negara tidak boleh disalahgunakan sebagai instrumen kepentingan politik, kriminalisasi, ataupun pembungkaman suara kritis masyarakat,” kata Puan Maharani, Selasa, 10/11/2026.”
Puan placed the case as the first priority among 12 strategic oversight issues for the session, emphasizing DPR’s constitutional duty to safeguard sovereign governance and protect citizens.
Witness protection review
The Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) said it is still assessing protection requests for six witnesses linked to the alleged wiretapping. ““Perlindungan terhadap saksi penting diberikan untuk menjamin rasa aman dengan mempertimbangkan situasi khusus yang dihadapi, termasuk tingkat kerentanan dan keseriusan tindak pidana,” kata Achmadi, Ketua LPSK, Selasa, 10/11/2026.”
Achmadi added LPSK is coordinating with Bareskrim investigators handling the case and remains open to any additional witnesses.
Suspects and charges
Bareskrim has identified four senior police officials as suspects: former Kapolri Listyo Sigit Prabowo, Irjen Ahrie Sonta Nasution, Irjen Eko Hadi Santoso, and Irjen Slamet Uliandi. Listyo, Ahrie, and Eko are detained at Mako Brimob, while Slamet remains under medical care after a stroke.
The officers face charges under Article 258 of the 2023 Criminal Code, Article 332 of the Criminal Code, and Article 32(1) of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law. Investigators are still exploring possible treason motives, though no additional charges have been announced.
Commission III of the DPR scheduled a working meeting with Police Chief Jenderal Suyudi Ario Seto to discuss the handling of the case.
The investigation continues as lawmakers and agencies await further developments, aiming for a transparent process that upholds the rule of law.
