President Prabowo Subianto convened a series of high-level meetings at Wisma Danantara in South Jakarta, summoning key security and legal figures to discuss ongoing corruption investigations. The President met individually with National Police Chief Gen. Listyo Sigit Prabowo, Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin, Indonesian Military (TNI) Commander Gen. Agus Subiyanto, and State Intelligence Agency (BIN) Chief Muhammad Herindra.

The initial meeting on Thursday afternoon, July 9, 2026, involved Listyo Sigit, who briefed the President on three significant corruption cases under investigation by the National Police's Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortas Tipikor) and the Jakarta Metropolitan Police. These cases reportedly involve locations linked to Febrie Adriansyah, who was serving as Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) at the time. The meetings continued throughout the day, with the Attorney General and TNI Commander also meeting with the President.

While BIN Chief Muhammad Herindra confirmed the meetings took place, he declined to elaborate on the specific topics discussed, stating that he meets with the President daily.

I meet with the President almost every day.
