Jakarta (ANTARA) – House of Representatives (DPR) Commission III Chair Habiburokhman called on National Police Chief Gen. Suyudi Ario Seto to disclose all facts surrounding an illegal wiretapping case during a parliamentary hearing in Jakarta on Thursday.

Habiburokhman also urged Seto to reveal a series of interrelated illegal acts allegedly committed by a suspect identified by the initials LSP.

“The meeting will start at 08:30 WIB and end at 12:00 WIB, and all members have confirmed attendance,” Habiburokhman said.

Beyond wiretapping, the suspects allegedly engaged in illegal surveillance, character assassination, manipulating social media opinion to undermine government programs, and mobilizing protest crowds, he noted.

“The point is the possibility to make the President unable to carry out his duties,” Habiburokhman said.

He stressed that these allegations must be examined seriously, noting that if proven, the acts could constitute treason under Article 160 of the Criminal Code (KUHP).

Earlier, the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) named four senior police officers, identified by the initials LSP, AS, EH, and SU, as suspects in the unauthorized wiretapping, electronic data deletion, and illegal access case.

The suspects allegedly wiretapped the president, state officials, political figures, media outlets, mass organization leaders, non-governmental organizations, and businesspeople from 2025 to 2026.

So far, the Police Code of Ethics Commission has dismissed one suspect, identified as Insp. Gen. AS, in connection with the case.
