Illegal Wiretapping of President Prabowo Raises Concerns Over LIMS Usage

• •Three police officers are suspects in the illegal wiretapping of President Prabowo.
• •LIMS, the technology involved, is intended for lawful communication interception.
• •Concerns are raised about the potential misuse of surveillance technology without proper oversight.

The alleged illegal wiretapping of President Prabowo Subianto has led to investigations into the Lawful Interception Management System (LIMS) used by Indonesian law enforcement. Three high-ranking police officers have been named as suspects for allegedly entering Prabowo's phone number into the LIMS server without proper authorization from 2025 to 2026. This misuse of LIMS raises significant concerns about the potential for abuse of surveillance technologies. Investigators are looking into the deletion of files from the LIMS system and have seized electronic devices related to the case. LIMS is designed to facilitate lawful interception of communications, but its application in this case appears to violate established procedures. The case has sparked public debate about the oversight and control of communication interception technologies in Indonesia.
