Indonesia Police undergo major reshuffle amid presidential wiretapping scandal
The Indonesian National Police (Polri) has implemented a significant reshuffle involving 264 high-ranking and middle-ranking officers. This reorganization follows the designation of former Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo as a suspect in an illegal wiretapping case targeting President Prabowo Subianto.
As part of the reshuffle, two Police Commissioners, Syahardiantono and Yuda Gustawan, were reassigned from the Presidential Staff Office (KSP) to the Police Education and Training Institution (Lemdiklat Polri). Additionally, Kombes Bismo Teguh Prakoso has been appointed as the Director of Certain Crimes in Bareskrim Polri, replacing Brigjen Moh. Irhamni.
The wiretapping scandal has led to several high-profile ethics hearings and legal proceedings. Police Chief General Suyudi Ario Seto described the alleged actions as a betrayal of the nation and emphasized that no internal officers would receive special treatment. The investigation reportedly involves several high-ranking officials accused of conducting unauthorized surveillance on state officials, political figures, and media outlets.
