Police chief exposes targets, methods in alleged illegal wiretap

National Police Chief Inspector General Suyudi Ario Seto outlined the targets and methods of the alleged illegal wiretap during a working meeting with Commission III of the DPR at the Parliament Complex in Jakarta on Thursday (12/11). Based on the Bareskrim Polri investigation, the alleged wiretap targets include the President of the Republic of Indonesia, the Presidential circle, ministries and agencies, DPR members, political parties, governors, regional police chiefs, KPK, prosecutors, internal Polri, mass organizations, activists, and students. Suyudi stressed that the list is investigative material and not an indicator of criminal involvement. He also said the alleged wiretap order came from LSP, was passed on through SU, EH, and AS, then relayed to operators verbally or through WhatsApp groups without the proper investigation documents. Four people have been named suspects.
