The Head of the National Police's Security Maintenance Agency (Kabaharkam) Komjen Fadil Imran straightened out the statement of member of Commission III of the DPR Habib Aboe Bakar Alhabsy regarding information on the existence of foreign intelligence operations which were said to provide funds for the coalition of presidential and vice presidential candidates (candidates and vice presidential candidates). According to him, based on police data, the existence of foreign state intelligence operations is limited to the potential for vulnerabilities that occurred during the 2024 General Election (Pemilu). "What is written here is the potential vulnerability of foreign intelligence operations," said Fadil after a working meeting with Commission III of the DPR, Wednesday, November 15. Foreign countries' intelligence operations are included in the potential vulnerability index because of the geographical location of Indonesia flanked by the Asian continent and Australia. Thus, vulnerable to the interests of other countries. "So it doesn't necessarily happen the same as here, the potential for vulnerability is due to geographical factors, it hasn't happened yet, but we anticipate all of that," he said. On the other hand, the former Metro Jaya Police Chief again emphasized that there was no statement from him regarding foreign state intelligence operations regarding the flow of money. "There is no statement from me saying that there is foreign money flowing to the presidential and vice presidential candidates, thank you, please straighten it out," said Fadil. Meanwhile, Aboe Bakar Alhabsy in the meeting questioned the form of foreign intelligence operations. At that time, Fadil was asked to explain about the funds that entered the presidential and vice presidential candidates.

"It was conveyed that there was a form of foreign intelligence operations in Indonesia, including providing clanustine funds to the coalition of reading the president and reading the vice president of certain coalitions. Please underline this, please explain, this is an expression of the fact that there are presidential and vice-presidential candidates funded by foreigners or all analyzes regarding potential foreign funding, is there any?" said Aboe.
