Indonesia has launched an investigation into suspected treason in the presidential wiretapping case.
Xinhua News Agency, Jakarta, November 12 (Reporter Gao Ju) Indonesia's National Police Chief Suyudi Setu said on the 12th that the Indonesian police opened a case to investigate four officials involved in the presidential wiretapping case on suspicion of treason.
Suyudi said that day at a working session of the Indonesian Parliament that, in addition to investigating suspected illegal wiretapping, illegal access to electronic systems and deletion of electronic files, the police are also investigating whether the relevant staff committed criminal acts with the aim of overthrowing the government. According to him, the relevant criminal facts still require further investigation and collection of evidence.
In the past, Indonesian police have listed four people, including former presidential chief of staff Listio, as criminal suspects for allegedly illegally wiretapping the communications of President Prabu and many others.
