National Police's Propam Investigates Brigadier General TK Over Prabowo Wiretapping Case

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The National Police of Indonesia announced that Brigadier General TK is currently undergoing an internal investigation by the Police Professional and Security Affairs Division related to the alleged illegal tapping of President Prabowo Subianto's mobile phone.

"He is currently being questioned by the Professional and Security Affairs Bureau of the National Police," said Police Public Relations Division Head Inspector General Johnny Eddizon Isir in a press release on Friday (13/11/2026).

According to Isir, the statements of Brigadier General TK are also being examined during the investigation to fully uncover the roles of all parties in this case.

The investigation of Brigadier General TK comes after the National Police clarified remarks made by Chief of Police General Suyudi Ario Seto concerning the role of suspect Inspector General Ahrie Sonta Nasution.

"We also confirm that the individual with the initials TK mentioned in this case is a high-ranking police officer with a one-star rank or Brigadier General," he stated.

In a working meeting with the House of Representatives' Commission III, Suyudi explained that Ahrie Sonta served as the Acting Head of the Monitoring Division of the Criminal Investigation Agency of the National Police from October 7, 2025, to October 1, 2026.

Ahrie Sonta is accused of receiving orders from suspect General Listyo Sigit Prabowo and requesting operators to conduct wiretaps without an investigation request.

"Then (AS) reported the results of the wiretaps to LSP and instructed TK to conduct surveillance," Suyudi disclosed.

Additionally, Ahrie allegedly ordered the deletion of voice recordings and logs from the wiretap results and disbanded a WhatsApp group.

It was previously reported that investigators from the Cyber Crime Directorate of the National Police established charges against four high-ranking police officers related to the alleged illegal tapping of President Prabowo Subianto's mobile phone.

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

Not only Prabowo but the four suspects also tapped communications within the palace, ministries and agencies, government officials, members of the House of Representatives, political party members, political figures, governors and police chiefs, the KPK, the Prosecutor's Office, internal police affairs, community organizations, activists, and students.

As a result of these alleged actions, investigators have applied several articles according to the roles of each suspect.

First, Article 258 of Law No. 1 of 2023 regarding the Criminal Code concerning the alleged tapping, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.

Second, Article 48 juncto Article 32 paragraph (1) of Law No. 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to the IT Law regarding the alleged deletion of electronic data, with a maximum prison sentence of 8 years.

Third, Article 332 paragraph (1) and/or paragraph (2) of Law No. 1 of 2023 regarding the Criminal Code concerning illegal access, with a maximum prison sentence of 6 or 7 years, depending on the charges.

Investigators are also applying Article 20 letters c and/or d of the Criminal Code concerning complicity in committing crimes or inciting others to commit crimes, including the abuse of power.

In addition to investigating allegations of tapping, illegal access, and the deletion of electronic documents, the National Police have also issued a police report regarding allegations of treason.

This report relates to the suspicion of participation, committing crimes collectively, or conspiracy to commit treason.

In response to this report, the National Police are conducting an investigation to determine whether there are elements of treason that must be proven separately.
