Indonesian Police Probe Wiretapping of President Prabowo Subianto

Indonesian police have launched an inquiry into the wiretapping of President Prabowo Subianto's phone. Police Chief Suyudi Ario Seto stated on Thursday that the investigation is a matter of law enforcement and is not connected to political rivalries.

The scandal emerges as tensions deepen between Prabowo and his predecessor, Joko Widodo. Parallel to the criminal probe, Indonesian lawmakers are considering a parliamentary inquiry into the eligibility of Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, the son of Joko Widodo, to hold his office.
