National Police Chief Feels Betrayed by Listyo Sigit and Associates for Intercepting Prabowo

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - National Police Chief General Suyudi Ario Seto feels betrayed by the actions of General Listyo Sigit Prabowo and his associates, who are alleged to have intercepted communications of President Prabowo Subianto.

"This is an act of betrayal against all of us. My colleagues and I feel deceived," Suyudi remarked while attending the Youth Movement Conference organized by Cipayung Plus Central in Jakarta, as reported by ANTARA on Tuesday (11/11/2026).

Suyudi is determined to take firm, uncompromising action against anyone involved in the interception of Prabowo.

He stated that the interception was the work of a few individuals seeking to disrupt the government.

"Whoever the perpetrators are, including from the Police itself or its individuals, I will take strict action," he emphasized.

He assured that the police would not remain silent and would not fear confronting those who attempt to undermine the nation's sovereignty.

"By God's grace, we are never afraid. My only fear is of God. Among humans, if they are indeed committing a legal offense, especially against this nation, I will be in front, and my youth colleagues should be behind me," he added.

While regretting the incident, Suyudi believes there is a significant lesson to be learned from it.

This incident has sparked broad support from the Indonesian people, who, previously divided on social media, have now united against the betrayal of their national leader.
