Indonesian police say they have enough initial evidence to pursue treason charges in Prabowo wiretapping case

-

JAKARTA, Nov ‌12 (Reuters) - Indonesian police said ​on Thursday they have enough initial evidence ⁠to pursue treason charges against four suspects in a case involving the ​wiretapping of President Prabowo Subianto. 

• The ‌police will conduct "intensive" investigations to develop the case further, national police official Asep ⁠Safrudin told reporters.

• Indonesian ⁠police have named four senior police officers as suspects, including the former police chief and Prabowo's chief ‌of staff, Listyo Sigit Prabowo.

• Listyo ⁠was known as a ‌loyalist to former president ​Joko Widodo.

• The scandal has exposed deepening cracks between Prabowo and ‌his predecessor and former ​backer, known as ⁠Jokowi.

• Lawmakers in a hearing ‌on Thursday urged ⁠police chief Suyudi Ario Seto to investigate who ultimately ordered Listyo to ​conduct the alleged ‌wiretapping, and the political interests that ⁠could be behind ​it.
