progresifjaya.co.id, JAKARTA – A tense and discreet situation is reportedly unfolding within the Polri Headquarters. Information has emerged regarding alleged wiretapping activities targeting the inner circle of the Presidential Palace. This sensitive issue has triggered swift action by the Polri’s Professional and Security Division (Divpropam) through a covert enforcement operation.
During this security operation, several high-ranking police officers were reportedly subjected to intensive questioning. Former Kapolri, Jenderal Pol Listyo Sigit Prabowo (LSP)—who currently serves as the Chief of Presidential Staff—was reportedly taken by a special team to the Polri Headquarters for clarification. However, following an initial examination, he was reportedly allowed to return home.
This decisive investigative action has also directly affected the leadership ranks within the Polri The Head of the Legal Division (Kadivkum), Irjen Pol Ahrie Sonta, is now officially being held in detention at the Mobile Brigade Corps (Brimob) headquarters in Kelapa Dua, Depok.
Irjen Pol Ahrie Sonta, known for his background as a former aide-de-camp to President Prabowo Subianto, is suspected of playing a key role in the wiretapping activities. According to information gathered, during the internal investigation, Irjen Pol Ahrie claimed that the unauthorized surveillance was carried out under the direct instruction of his former superior, LSP.
“Yes, it is true—there is an internal security operation underway. A four-star general with the initials ‘L,’ along with several three-star and two-star generals, have been summoned for verification. The clarification process for the four-star general has already been concluded,” stated an internal police source on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
This quiet enforcement action comes just one month after the leadership of the Polri was handed over to Jenderal Pol Suyudi Ario Seto. Since taking office, Kapolri Suyudi has emphasized, that his primary focus is on internal consolidation and organizational cleanup, with the goal of maintaining national security stability.
