Tito Rejects Travel Ban Rumor Tied to Prabowo Wiretap Case
Tito called the travel-ban rumor a hoax and said he has had no role in Polri matters since leaving as chief in 2019.
Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian denied reports that he had been barred from traveling abroad in connection with the investigation into alleged illegal wiretapping of President Prabowo Subianto and several other figures. After a limited meeting at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta on Monday, Tito described the rumor circulating on social media as a hoax. He also rejected any link to the handling of the case, saying he stepped down as National Police chief in 2019 and retired from Polri before the normal retirement age in 2022. Tito said that since leaving the police force he has no longer handled Polri affairs and is now focused on carrying out his duties as Home Affairs Minister in the Prabowo government.
