Indonesia arrests three senior police officials on suspicion of tapping the president

Three high-ranking Indonesian police officials have been arrested for allegedly illegally wiretapping President Prabowo and other prominent figures. The investigation focuses on the unlawful interception of communications, which reportedly occurred after Prabowo took office. The suspects allegedly ordered the tapping of phones without following proper procedures, leading to unauthorized numbers being added to the police's wiretap list. They are also accused of attempting to delete collected communication data to conceal evidence. Authorities have seized multiple devices as part of the investigation. The officials face multiple charges, with potential sentences of up to 10 years for illegal interception and up to 6 years for data deletion. No evidence of treason has been found so far.
