inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The government is preparing anticipatory measures to prevent the misuse of state-owned wiretapping devices following allegations of illegal wiretapping of President Prabowo Subianto and several other parties.

"Of course, the government is anticipating that in the future, the wiretapping devices owned by certain agencies will not be misused," Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections Yusril Ihza Mahendra told reporters in Jakarta on Monday (11/9/2026).

According to him, these anticipatory measures need to be prepared as the investigation into the case involving four high-ranking police officers continues at the Indonesian National Police (INP)'s Criminal Investigation Agency.

When asked whether the government would conduct searches of the Palace grounds to find electronic devices suspected of being connected to the wiretapping, Yusril stated that such a step is worth considering.

"As a precautionary measure, we are certainly considering it," he said.

Last week, the INP Criminal Investigation Agency named LSP, AS, EH, and SU as suspects in a case of alleged illegal tapping, deletion of electronic data, and illegal access.

Regarding the case's developments, Yusril explained that the investigation is not only related to the alleged wiretapping, but also points to allegations of treason as stipulated in Articles 191, 192, and 193 of the Criminal Code.
