National Police Chief: Listyo Ordered Wiretapping of Slamet Uliandi, Passed to Ahrie Sonta and Eko Hadi

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - National Police Chief General Suyudi Ario Seto revealed that General Listyo Sigit Prabowo instructed Inspector General Slamet Uliandi to conduct wiretapping.

“Initially, the wiretapping order allegedly came from General LSP through SU,” Suyudi stated during a working meeting with Commission III of the House of Representatives on Thursday (12/11/2026) to explain the case of alleged wiretapping against President Prabowo Subianto and other cases.

The order from Listyo Sigit was then relayed by Slamet Uliandi to Inspector General Ahrie Sonta and Inspector General Eko Hadi Santoso.

“Subsequently, this instruction was communicated verbally or through a WhatsApp group, without a written request from investigators or supporting police reports,” he said.

Suyudi then outlined the stages of the alleged wiretapping.

The first step involves entering the target's phone number into the system or provisioning.

The Technical Supporting Unit (TSU) team allegedly inputted these numbers into the LIMS system without checking their relation to the ongoing criminal cases.

The second step was executing wiretapping using the PenLink's X (PLX) system.

The third stage involved officers listening to and exporting the wiretap recordings, after which they transcribed them.

“Finally, the results of the wiretap were reported in stages to Kabakmon, SU, and General LSP,” he concluded.

Data Deletion

In October 2026, it was alleged that data from the wiretaps in the LIMS and PLX systems were deleted on the orders of Ahrie Sonta, which was carried out by the TSU team.

Previously reported, investigators from the Cyber Crime Directorate of the National Police have charged four high-ranking police officers over the case of illegally wiretapping President Prabowo Subianto's mobile phone.

The four suspects include former Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, former Director of Legal Affairs Inspector General Ahrie Sonta Nasution, former Director of IT Inspector General Slamet Uliandi, and former Director of Narcotics Crime Inspector General Eko Hadi Santoso.

In addition to Prabowo, the four suspects also wiretapped government officials, political figures, media representatives, civil society organization leaders, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and businessmen.

Investigators charged Slamet Uliandi under Article 332 paragraph (1) and/or paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code regarding illegal access, Article 258 paragraph (1) of Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code, as well as Article 32 paragraph (1) of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law) in conjunction with Article 20 letter j of the Criminal Code.

Meanwhile, the other three suspects were charged under Article 258 and Article 332 paragraph (1) and/or paragraph (2) of Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code, as well as Article 32 paragraph (1) of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law).
