Abstract

Advancements in financial technology have simplified transactions through Paylater services, yet they have also created opportunities for misuse, such as the practice of gesek tunai (gestun), which is carried out through fictitious transactions on e-commerce platforms. The purpose of this study is to examine the legal construction of the “unlawful act” element based on criminal law theory and to determine whether gestun practices in Paylater limits can be categorized as an initial modus operandi of criminal offenses. This research employs primary legal sources, including the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law), the Anti–Money Laundering Law (Law No. 8 of 2010), OJK Regulation No. 10/POJK.05/2022, Bank Indonesia Regulation No. 11/11/PBI/2009, and relevant court decisions, using a normative juridical methodology through statutory and case approaches. The findings indicate that gestun in Paylater services meets the criteria of an initial modus operandi of criminal conduct because it involves transaction manipulation that may constitute fraud (Article 378 of the KUHP), embezzlement (Article 372 of the KUHP), money laundering (Law No. 8 of 2010), and even continued offenses (Article 64 of the KUHP). According to both monist and dualist theories, this activity is legally prohibited and also violates administrative regulations issued by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia. This study underscores the importance of enhancing public digital literacy and revising criminal law provisions to specifically regulate the misuse of fintech services.

Abstract

This study examines the sentencing disparity in judicial decisions concerning the dissemination of pornographic content, which demonstrates inconsistency in the application of the law. The Decision of the Palu District Court No. 352/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Pal imposed a heavier sentence for an act involving a limited scale of dissemination, whereas the Decision of the Pekanbaru District Court No. 579/Pid.Sus/2025/PN Pbr imposed a lighter sentence despite the case involving a more serious scale. This normative legal research employs statutory, case, and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that the disparity is influenced by juridical factors, including the legal system, the formulation of legislation, evidentiary processes in court, and the absence of sentencing guidelines, as well as non-juridical factors in the form of judges’ characteristics, differences in assessing aggravating and mitigating factors, the offender’s motive, and the impact on the victim. The presence of disparity cannot be eliminated outright but can be minimised through the implementation of the sentencing guidelines under Article 54 Paragraph (1) of the New Criminal Code (KUHP), the issuance of a special Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) on cybercrime with measurable parameters, the strengthening of PERMA Number 3 of 2017 regarding gender perspective and restorative justice, and the enhancement of law enforcement officers’ capacity to understand the characteristics of digital crime.
