EKS KAPOLRI SADAP PRABOWO, JOKOWI TERLIBAT?

Summary

Mahfud MD discusses reports that several senior Indonesian police officers, including a former police chief, have been named suspects in an alleged illegal wiretapping operation. The alleged targets reportedly included the president, other state officials, political figures, and civil-society representatives. The speakers describe the allegations as exceptionally serious while emphasizing that the investigation is still at an early stage.

Investigators are reportedly examining who ordered the surveillance and where its results went. Mahfud and the host speculate that information may have reached Solo and discuss whether the surveillance could have served a political purpose. They connect this theory to tensions involving President Prabowo, former president Jokowi, and Gibran, as well as to political campaigns and demonstrations. These points are presented as analysis and allegations, not established findings.

The speakers acknowledge that treason has not been formally established and say that any evidence and motives would need to be tested in court. They also discuss possible criminal provisions cited in the case, including laws concerning unlawful interception and electronic information.

The case is placed within a broader effort to reform the police under its new leadership. The speakers cite a large number of personnel transfers and describe the investigation as an opportunity to address alleged misconduct and political involvement within the force. Mahfud cautions against purges based only on personal or political dislike, arguing that discipline should be based on wrongdoing.

Mahfud’s broader message is that leaders and officials should act ethically, professionally, and with humility. Power is temporary, and misconduct may eventually be exposed. He connects this lesson to earlier political and legal controversies and says that public pressure and events beyond leaders’ control can bring change.
