Indonesian authorities have arrested three senior police officers, including President Prabowo Subianto's chief of staff, Listyo Sigit Prabowo, for allegedly wiretapping the president's phone conversations. The alleged wiretapping, which authorities say could amount to treason, involved not only President Prabowo but also politicians, journalists, NGO representatives, and businesspeople. The scandal has exposed a widening rift between President Prabowo and his predecessor, Joko Widodo, who had supported Prabowo's 2024 presidential campaign. The motive behind the alleged wiretapping remains unclear, but it has sparked security concerns and calls for an investigation into the eligibility of Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Joko Widodo's son, amid controversy over his high school credentials.
