Abstract

This study discusses the crime of false testimony under oath in the Indonesian criminal law system based on Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. The main focus of the research is to analyze the regulation of the crime of false testimony under oath, the elements of intent and additional criminal penalties, the interpretation of important phrases in the formulation of the offense, as well as the rules regarding the granting of special power of attorney and the equivalence of oaths with promises or statements. This normative legal research uses statutory and conceptual approaches with primary and secondary legal materials analyzed qualitatively through grammatical and systematic interpretations. The results of the study indicate that the regulation of the crime of false testimony under oath has undergone changes from the previous provisions with the removal of heavier criminal threats for false testimony that harms a defendant or suspect. The element of intent is a subjective element that must absolutely be fulfilled, and its proof becomes a challenge in judicial practice. The interpretation of important phrases in the formulation of the offense requires a careful approach to ensure legal certainty. This study recommends the dissemination of regulatory changes and the formulation of technical guidelines for law enforcement officers.
