JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) has emphasized that the illegal wiretapping carried out by former National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo and three other police generals against President Prabowo Subianto falls into the category of treason.

“Commission III of DPR RI asserts that the criminal acts of wiretapping, illegal access, or data destruction committed by the suspects constitute treason,” said Commission Chair Habiburokhman while presenting the conclusions from a meeting with the National Police Chief at the DPR RI Building on Thursday (12/11/2026).

“Therefore, Commission III of DPR RI requests the National Police Chief and his staff to charge the suspects under the treason law and to further investigate the possibility of other parties' involvement,” he added.

Habiburokhman stated that Commission III of DPR RI appreciates the decisive actions taken by National Police Chief Suyudi Ario Seto and his team in uncovering the wiretapping case and urges that the handling of this matter be done professionally.

During the same occasion, National Police Chief Suyudi Ario Seto acknowledged that they have received numerous inputs regarding the application of treason charges against the four suspects.

He mentioned that the police are currently still working to gather evidence and clues related to the application of the treason law in this case.

“Certainly, this requires effort, both in terms of intelligence analysis and from our investigators who have been assigned to uncover this, and we are confident that we can prove what you gentlemen have mentioned, God willing,” Suyudi stated.

He also requested the support of Commission III DPR to ensure that the case handling can be done decisively and professionally.

“Decisively but still prioritizing professional, procedural, proportional, and ethical investigative efforts,” he added.
