Security Minister assures calm situation
Rumipos.com, Jakarta, Selasa, 10/11/2026 — Dudung Abdurachman confirmed that the national security situation remains conducive amid investigations into alleged illegal wiretapping of President Prabowo Subianto.
He said the case is still a legal matter and has not entered the political and security arena, and he declined to speculate on possible new suspects.
When asked about additional suspects, Dudung said, “Saya tidak tahu. Itu proses hukum,” kata Dudung Abdurachman, Minister of Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Selasa, 10/11/2026.
He referenced Coordinating Minister for Legal and Human Rights Yusril Ihza Mahendra, who handles the legal side of the case.
Dudung emphasized that unauthorized wiretapping is not allowed, except for investigative purposes.
He denied any internal clean-up at the Ministry of Political, Legal and Security Affairs related to the wiretapping allegations.
He also mentioned that about 6,000 people may have been wiretapped, including officials.
The situation remains under law enforcement and has not yet entered political or security territory.
Commission III pushes for treason articles and Perppu
Commission III Chairman Habiburokhman views the wiretapping of the President as a serious threat to national safety and said the number of suspected targets exceeds 6,000 individuals.
He urged that the investigation not be limited to the Electronic Information and Transactions Law and called for the inclusion of treason articles, laws related to national security, and corruption offenses if state tools were misused.
He also mentioned the possibility of issuing a Government Regulation in Lieu of Law if existing regulations cannot cover the criminal act.
He warned that extreme actors could escape justice without adequate legal provisions.
Commission III scheduled a working meeting with National Police Chief General Suyudi Ario Seto on Thursday to seek a comprehensive explanation on the mastermind and motive behind the wiretapping.
Bareskrim Polri has already named four police generals as suspects: General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, Irjen Ahrie Sonta Nasution, Irjen Eko Hadi Santoso, and Irjen Slamet Uliandi.
Three are detained at Mako Brimob Kelapa Dua, while Slamet remains under health-related consideration.
They are charged under Article 258 of the Criminal Code and Article 32 of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law.
The government confirmed it will not form a special task force and will let Bareskrim handle the case fully.
Yusril suggested the wiretapping could amount to treason, but the article has not yet been applied as investigators continue to examine the case.
The Witness and Victim Protection Agency is reviewing protection requests for six witnesses.
The situation remains under legal review, with security assurances from the minister and expanded investigative scope advocated by Commission III.
