Jakarta, ThedailyID — Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto met with 10 former National Police chiefs at his residence in Hambalang, Bogor, West Java, on Sunday, November 8, 2026.
The Presidential Secretariat published footage of the meeting on its official YouTube channel that day.
In the video, Prabowo appeared alongside Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, National Police Chief General Suyudi Ario Seto, and Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya.
Prabowo, Sjafrie, and Suyudi welcomed the former police chiefs and other guests. They later held a discussion around a round table at the presidential residence.
The 10 former National Police chiefs included Roesmanhadi, Roesdihardjo, Surojo Bimantoro, Da’i Bachtiar, Sutanto, Bambang Hendarso Danuri, Timur Pradopo, Sutarman, Badrodin Haiti, and Tito Karnavian.
Tito currently serves as Indonesia’s Home Affairs Minister.
The published footage did not reveal the details of their conversation. However, the Presidential Secretariat’s Press, Media, and Information Bureau said the meeting covered several current issues.
“During the meeting, President Prabowo and the former National Police chiefs exchanged views on various ongoing issues. The gathering also provided an opportunity to share experiences across different generations of leadership,” the bureau said in an official statement on Sunday evening.
The meeting took place as authorities continued investigating an alleged illegal wiretapping case involving Prabowo and several other individuals.
The Criminal Investigation Department (Bareskrim) has named four people as suspects. They include former National Police chief and current Presidential Chief of Staff Listyo Sigit Prabowo, National Police Legal Division head Inspector General Ahrie Sonta Nasution, police instructor Inspector General Eko Hadi Santoso, and former Police IT Division head Inspector General Slamet Uliandi.
Meanwhile, reports circulating on social media had linked two other former police chiefs, Tito Karnavian and Idham Azis, to the case. However, Bareskrim Chief Commissioner General Asep Safrudin denied those claims.
“The information is not true,” Asep said on Sunday, November 8.
Authorities are also examining allegations of treason connected to the case. The issue emerged after State Intelligence Agency (BIN) Chief Muhammad Herindra described the alleged wiretapping as potentially linked to such an act.
“I think it is an illegal act and could lead to an act of treason,” Herindra said on Friday, November 6.
