Abstract

Indonesia, as a state governed by law (rechtstaat), guarantees the protection of its citizens' constitutional rights, including economic rights. However, the existence of corruption classified as an extraordinary crime has undermined the nation’s economic foundations and deprived the people of their economic entitlements. Law enforcement against corruption must not only focus on punishing perpetrators but also prioritize the recovery of state losses through the mechanism of asset forfeiture derived from criminal acts. This study examines the urgency and dynamics of asset forfeiture within the framework of Indonesia's positive law, including the relevance of Law No. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2001, and the Indonesian Penal Code (KUHP) of 2023. Furthermore, it discusses the concept of non-conviction based asset forfeiture and the need for a specific Asset Forfeiture Law as a manifestation of the state's commitment to restoring state finances and upholding the rule of law. This research also analyzes the strategic role of the Prosecutor's Office in the asset recovery process, as well as institutional challenges and inter-agency coordination issues in its implementation.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed the global financial landscape with the emergence of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin. As a decentralized digital asset based on blockchain technology, Bitcoin enables fast, anonymous, and cross-border transactions without central authority intervention. While these features offer convenience, they also pose risks of abuse in illegal activities, including narcotics transactions. In Indonesia, the use of Bitcoin in drug-related offenses presents complex legal challenges due to the absence of explicit criminal regulations governing such usage. This study examines the criminal liability of narcotics offenders who utilize Bitcoin, focusing on three core issues: the juridical basis for punishment, the characteristics of punishment under Indonesia’s legal system, and an ideal penal concept for the future. The research employs a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case study approaches. Findings indicate that punishment remains based on Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics, with Bitcoin regarded as a means rather than a core element of the crime. Although it does not constitute a new offense, its use may aggravate punishment through individualized sentencing. Sanctions involving digital assets remain suboptimal due to regulatory gaps. Therefore, this study recommends revising criminal laws to explicitly regulate Bitcoin use in drug crimes, developing sentencing guidelines that consider technological factors, and formulating responsive penal policies, including asset seizure and inter-agency collaboration through blockchain forensic technology.
