  "account": "Indonesian police chief will face a parliamentary panel on Thursday in response to allegations that President Prabowo Subianto was wiretapped illegally by high-ranking officials, including his chief of staff. The wiretapping allegations emerged after the detention of three senior police generals, with a fourth implicated. President Widodo, known as Jokowi, is connected to the main suspects, deepening a rift between him and Prabowo. Parliament's Commission III will probe the motive behind the wiretapping and investigate if others were involved. Lawmakers will question the police chief about the investigation, which could involve Cabinet officials, politicians, journalists, civil society leaders, and business executives. Amnesty International has called for a full investigation, fearing the wiretapping could have been used to intimidate critics and weaken civil liberties.",
