Abstract

Theft of motor vehicles accompanied by threats of violence remains frequent in the jurisdiction of the Gorontalo Regional Police, yet the sanctions actually imposed are often far below the statutory maximum. This article examines the criminal sanctions applicable to perpetrators of motor vehicle theft accompanied by threats of violence and analyses their application in Limboto District Court Decision Number 107/Pid.B/2020/PN Lbo. The study uses normative-empirical legal research with statutory and case approaches, and the legal materials are analysed descriptively. The study finds that such conduct may be punished under Article 368 and Article 363 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code. In the decision examined, the court found the five defendants legally and convincingly guilty of extortion by force or threat of violence and sentenced each of them to eight months’ imprisonment, less time already served in arrest and detention. The sentence is considerably lighter than the statutory maximum, which raises the question whether the punishment imposed adequately reflects the suffering of the victim and the deterrent purpose of the offence.
