Abstract

General Background: Accomplice liability under Article 56 of the Indonesian Criminal Code requires proof of intent, reflected in the accomplice’s knowledge and will to facilitate a crime. Specific Background: In Decision No. 882/Pid.B/2024/PN Mdn, the court concluded that intent in accomplice liability was not established, despite evidence showing the defendant knowingly created and transferred mobile banking accounts to a fraud perpetrator for financial gain. Knowledge Gap: Existing studies rarely examine inconsistencies between doctrinal constructions of intent and their judicial application in accomplice liability within fraud cases. Aims: This study analyzes how the element of intent in accomplice liability was assessed and whether the court’s reasoning aligns with criminal law doctrine. Results: Findings indicate that the defendant’s conduct demonstrates knowledge and purposeful assistance fulfilling the subjective elements of fraud under Article 378 KUHP and the intent requirement of Article 56 KUHP. Novelty: This study provides a doctrinal–case analysis showing that judicial misinterpretation of intent can blur the distinction between neutral acts and intentional facilitation. Implications: The results highlight the need for consistent judicial application of mens rea principles to maintain the integrity of criminal responsibility and prevent erroneous exclusions of accomplice liability. Highlights: The case reveals a doctrinal inconsistency in assessing intent for accomplice liability. Evidence shows the defendant’s actions met the subjective elements of fraud. Misinterpretation of mens rea risks weakening the boundaries of criminal responsibility. Keywords: Accomplice Liability, Intent, Article 378 KUHP, Proof, Participation in Crime

Abstract

General Background: The rapid advancement of digital technology has increased legal challenges related to electronic information misuse, particularly within Indonesia’s Special Criminal Law governing Electronic Information and Transactions (EIT). Specific Background: Cases involving the dissemination of private content frequently raise questions regarding the fulfillment of intent or dolus as a requirement for criminal liability. Knowledge Gap: Judicial inconsistencies in assessing intent—especially in distinguishing intentional acts from negligence—indicate the need for deeper doctrinal analysis. Aims: This study critically examines the fulfillment of intent in the dissemination of private content under Article 27 ayat 1 jo. Article 45 ayat 1 of the EIT Law, based on Decision No. 805/Pid.Sus.2024/PN.Jkt.Sel. Results: The findings show that the court’s analysis relied on three key elements: actus reus, the absence of rights or consent, and mens rea reflected in the perpetrator’s awareness of wrongdoing, while also considering the defendant’s negligence or culpa. Novelty: This study exposes discrepancies between courtroom facts and judicial reasoning, revealing conceptual misalignment in applying intent within EIT cases. Implications: The research provides a clearer analytical framework for judges and legal practitioners to differentiate intentional wrongdoing from negligence in future EIT adjudications. Highlights: The study clarifies how intent is assessed in private-content dissemination cases under the EIT Law. Findings show discrepancies between courtroom facts and the court’s interpretation of intent. The research offers a clearer framework for distinguishing intent from negligence in future cases. Keywords: Intent, Negligence, EIT Law, Private Content, Criminal Liability

Abstract

In Indonesia, criminal law stipulates that a person can only be held accountable for their actions if there is an element of fault, in addition to meeting the principle of legality. Criminal liability aims to determine whether the perpetrator should indeed bear the consequences of their actions. On the other hand, Bipolar Disorder is a serious mental condition that causes drastic mood changes, which can affect a person’s ability to control their behavior and actions. This study aims to examine the extent to which the principle of justice is applied in determining criminal liability for defendants suffering from Bipolar Disorder, as illustrated in Supreme Court Decision Number 1209K/Pid.sus/2023. The methods used include the Statute Approach and the Case Approach. The findings show that the provisions regarding criminal liability are contained in Article 44 of the former Criminal Code (KUHP) as well as Articles 38 and 39 of the new Criminal Code (Law Number 1 of 2023). However, in practice, the judges’ decision has not been entirely fair, as the defendant’s Bipolar Disorder was not taken into consideration. In fact, criminal law should not only focus on punishment but also take into account the condition of the perpetrator, including the defendant’s mental state. By doing so, the imposed sentence can be more humane and appropriately targeted.

Abstract

This study investigates the increasing prevalence of human trafficking in Indonesia facilitated through social media platforms as a mechanism for recruiting illegal migrant workers, as illustrated by the Cibadak District Court Decision No. 92/Pid.Sus/2024/PN.Cbd. In this case, the defendant, Clara Emilia Yulianti, and her network recruited prospective migrant workers without official authorization by offering high-paying jobs abroad, thereby exposing significant gaps in state oversight and digital protection for prospective migrants. The objective of this study is to analyze the modus operandi of the illegal recruitment scheme in this case and to evaluate existing prevention policies to address the legal loopholes exploited by the perpetrators. Employing normative legal methods alongside legislative, conceptual, and case study approaches, the study finds that the perpetrators used social media to lure victims, collect fees, and engage in unlawful sheltering and deployment activities in violation of Article 2(1) of Law No. 21/2007 in conjunction with Law No. 18/2017. Preventive efforts should prioritize strengthening oversight of online recruitment through enhanced cooperation between the government and digital platforms to enable detection, verification, and removal of illegal recruitment content.

Abstract

This study examines obstruction of justice in Indonesia’s positive law as well as criminal liability in the application of single charges based on the Corruption Law. With normative juridical methods through legislative and case approaches, the research analyzes primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results of the study show that Indonesian law does not yet have a comprehensive definition of obstruction of justice, thus opening up a wide space for interpretation. The application of a single indictment in corruption cases also creates legal uncertainty, especially in proving the element of “obstructing the legal process” when the act is closely related to the main offense. This study emphasizes the need for harmonization of norms and a clearer formulation of criminal offenses to increase the effectiveness of obstruction of justice as an instrument for eradicating corruption.

Abstract

This article examines sentence-execution control in Indonesia, Thailand, and Tajikistan through the distinction between the Verdict Executor and the Criminal Executor as a basis for penitentiary law reform. It starts from the premise that the post-trial stage, particularly the enforcement of imprisonment, remains one of the least theorized yet most crucial parts of criminal procedure, with direct implications for legal certainty, institutional accountability, and prisoners’ human rights. Using normative legal research and a functional comparative approach, the study analyzes criminal sentence-execution systems, justice and imprisonment frameworks, relevant laws and regulations, institutional structures, and supervisory mechanisms in the three countries. The findings show important differences in the allocation of powers and functions between supervisory and executive bodies. Indonesia reflects an integrated model in which prosecutorial authority extends to the admission of convicts and the administration of sentences. By contrast, Thailand and Tajikistan adopt more differentiated institutional arrangements, with specialized and relatively independent bodies responsible for penitentiary supervision. The analysis concludes that judicial supervision of sentence enforcement and the execution of criminal punishment involve distinct doctrinal functions that should be institutionally separated. Such separation would reduce overlapping authority, minimize conflict, and improve systemic order and efficiency. In this context, the article argues that autonomous supervision of sentence execution should be recognized as a doctrinal category within criminal procedure law. It further proposes electronic supervision as a regulatory and procedural instrument to strengthen transparency, proportionality, and human rights compliance during the execution stage. Overall, the research demonstrates that without effective supervision of sentence execution, meaningful reform of the sentence-enforcement system and the rule of law remains unattainable.

Abstract

The implementation of the Global Minimum Tax (GMT), initiated by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the G20, has brought significant changes to the effectiveness of fiscal incentive schemes in Indonesia, particularly those based on tax rate reductions, thereby requiring adjustments to national policies to remain aligned with global tax standards. This study aims to analyze the implications of the GMT’s implementation on the design and effectiveness of fiscal incentive schemes in Indonesia, while also assessing the suitability of the GMT policy in influencing the structuring of fiscal incentives and strengthening the government’s legal policy within the framework of tax policy reform. The research method used is normative legal research with a legislative approach, to examine the compatibility of GMT norms with the national legal system, as well as a conceptual approach to understand the paradigm shift from tax rate competition to global tax coordination. The research findings indicate that the top-up tax mechanism under the GMT regime significantly reduces the effectiveness of tariff-based fiscal incentives, thereby requiring Indonesia to restructure its fiscal incentive policies toward non-tariff incentives, enhanced legal certainty, and strengthened investment competitiveness. These findings confirm that the GMT policy is, in principle, aligned with the global tax reform agenda and reinforces the government’s legal policy direction in building a fair and equitable tax system, as well as promoting a restructuring of fiscal incentives that is more selective, transparent, and oriented toward investment quality and legal certainty, thereby providing conceptual and normative contributions to the development of national tax law and fiscal policy formulation practices in Indonesia.

Abstract

Advances in information technology have led to the development of increasingly sophisticated and futuristic communication instruments and devices, notably the emergence of social media. Platforms such as Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, and similar services have become integral to human activity. Undeniably, the use of social media offers considerable convenience; however, it also has the potential to foster new behaviors within society that can bring both positive and negative consequences for individuals and users alike. Behaviors leading to negative outcomes can potentially result in criminal offenses, particularly among adolescents and students who may still struggle with emotional control. This article details a Community Engagement Program (PKM) conducted at SMA Pelangi Kasih, titled "The Use of Social Media in Accordance with Laws and Regulations." During this legal outreach, various aspects were explained, including the factors contributing to the proliferation of cybercrime on social media and the proper use of social media in compliance with legal frameworks. The primary objective of this outreach was to ensure that high school students, particularly those at SMA Pelangi Kasih, avoid criminal acts and utilize social media in accordance with existing laws and regulations. The results of the outreach highlighted that the rampant growth of cybercrime via social media stems from low public legal awareness, suboptimal cybersecurity measures, insufficient law enforcement against cybercrime, and inadequate existing regulations concerning cybercrime. Furthermore, to foster the use of social media in accordance with regulations, users must be aware of the boundaries stipulated in UU ITE. ABSTRAK Kemajuan teknologi informasi membuahkan hasil yaitu munculnya instrumen atau perangkat komunikasi yang semakin mutakhir dan futuristik. Salah satu hasil dari kemajuan teknologi informasi munculnya social media. Banyaknya social media yang bermunculan seperti Facebook, X, Instagram, Tiktok, dan sejenisnya sulit dilepas dari aktivitas manusia. Tidak dapat disangkal bahwa penggunaan media sosial memang membawa begitu banyak kemudahan bagi manusia. Penggunaan social media berpotensi menimbulkan tingkah laku baru di masyarakat yang dapat mendatangkan kebaikan dan juga keburukan bagi orang lain atau bagi penggunanya. Tingkah laku yang mendatangkan keburukan berpotensi melakukan tindak pidana bagi penggunanya, khususnya pada kalangan usia remaja atau pelajar yang masih tidak stabil dalam mengontrol emosi. Telah dilaksanakannya PKM di SMA Pelangi Kasih dengan judul Penggunaan Social Media yang Sesuai dengan Peraturan Perundang-undangan. Dalam penyuluhan hukum tersebut, dijelaskan aspek-aspek mengenai faktor yang menjadi penyebab berkembangnya kejahatan di social media dan penggunaan social media yang sesuai dengan peraturan perundang-undangan. Tujuan dari penyuluhan ini yaitu agar pengguna social media pada kalangan siswa SMA khususnya SMA Pelangi Kasih terhindar dari tindak pidana dan menggunakan social media sesuai peraturan perundang-undangan. Hasil dari penyuluhan tersebut yaitu penyebab tumbuh suburnya kejahatan siber melalui social media sebagai medianya yaitu kesadaran hukum masyarakat yang rendah, faktor keamanan di dunia maya yang kurang optimal, minimnya penegakan hukum pada kejahatan siber, dan peraturan yang belum memadai pada kejahatan siber. Selain itu, untuk mewujudkan penggunaan social media yang berdasarkan peraturan, pengguna social media harus tau batasan-batasan yang telah diatur dalam UU ITE.

Abstract

Capital market law enforcement in Indonesia faces a major legal issue in the form of uncertainty regarding the application of the una via principle in determining the appropriate enforcement pathway between administrative and criminal sanctions, particularly following Constitutional Court Decision No. 59/PUU-XXI/2023, which revoked the Financial Services Authority’s (OJK) exclusive investigative authority. This situation raises issues of legitimacy as well as a disparity in evidentiary standards between the administrative and criminal legal regimes. The study’s key findings indicate that the current formulation of the “una via” principle risks creating legal defects due to an imbalance in evidentiary standards. The dominance of administrative assessments by the OJK as the initial basis for determining criminal offenses is not always aligned with criminal evidentiary standards, thereby implicating issues of proof and the effectiveness of criminal law enforcement in the capital market sector. As normative and institutional recommendations, this study proposes reformulating the una via principle through strengthening the administrative sanctions regime, developing formal coordination mechanisms between the OJK and the Police, and institutionalizing a Joint Case Assessment Committee. Additionally, the adoption of a civil penalty system based on practices in Singapore, Malaysia, and the Netherlands is recommended to enhance legal certainty and the effectiveness of capital market law enforcement.
