Abstract

Corruption in Indonesia has been classified as an extraordinary crime; however, the absence of an illicit enrichment offense has resulted in law enforcement primarily targeting the symptoms of corruption rather than its root cause, namely the accumulation of disproportionate and unexplained wealth. This condition creates an urgent need to examine the potential criminalization of illicit enrichment while ensuring the protection of human rights. This study aims to analyze the construction of legal policy in Indonesia and Poland and to assess the extent to which criminal law policies concerning illicit enrichment in both jurisdictions integrate fundamental principles of criminal law and human rights within their normative design. The research employs a normative legal method, applying both comparative and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that Indonesia remains in a transitional phase between the orientations of state efficiency and defendant’s rights, whereas Poland places greater emphasis on rights protection through the mechanism of extended confiscation. The criminalization of illicit enrichment can only be justified if it is formulated with precision and proportionality in order to maintain a fair balance between the effectiveness of anti-corruption enforcement and the protection of fundamental human rights.

Abstract

The illicit cigarette trade has begun to receive scholarly attention globally. Empirical studies on the illicit cigarette trade are available in the context of Indonesia. However, the Indonesian judicial system lacks a focus on treating illegal practices. To fill the gap, we examine Indonesian court decisions involving the illicit cigarette trade between 2010 and 2019. We provide an overview of the enforcement of Indonesia’s Excise Law 2007 relating to offences related to the illicit cigarette trade. By using a systematic quantitative literature review, we collected data on Indonesian court decisions and found the following: (1) convictions for the practice of illicit trade in cigarettes were relatively steady, with a total number from one to six court decisions annually; (2) certain offences from Indonesia Excise Law 2007 have not been found in the convictions, suggesting their underutilisation in terms of monitoring and enforcement effort; (3) the primary motivation of illicit cigarette traders as reported through the judicial system is the economic benefit or “profit” available to the enterprise; and (4) the sentencing decisions are dominated by the application of the “cumulative principle” with fines and imprisonment applied at the same time. The finding on the average length of imprisonment for illicit cigarettes, which was around 18 months, shows that this crime has low risk compared with the punishment for illicit trade in drugs and narcotics in Indonesia.

Abstract

The increasing reliance on digital evidence in criminal justice proceedings poses new challenges for legal systems that were traditionally built to deal with physical and conventional evidence. With the development of information technology, digital data such as electronic communications, digital traces, and cyber forensic artefacts have become an important part of criminal case evidence. This article presents a conceptual analysis of the urgency of fair and technology-responsive digital evidence management in the criminal justice system. Through a literature review of legal theory, international practices, and national regulations, this paper identifies significant legal gaps, particularly in data authenticity, the chain of evidence, the validity of evidence, and the protection of privacy rights. In its novelty, this article proposes a five-pillar model for the governance of digital evidence, encompassing the principles of legality, evidence integrity, procedural justice, legal digital literacy, and institutional accountability, as an integrated framework to strengthen the management of digital evidence in Indonesia. This model provides a systematic approach that not only focuses on the technical aspects of digital forensics but also integrates legal normative standards, institutional capacity building, and the protection of fundamental rights within the criminal justice process. The scientific contribution of this research lies in its effort to bridge the conceptual gap between the principle of procedural justice and digital forensic practices within the criminal justice system, thereby supporting the realization of a legal framework that is responsive, transparent, adaptable to technological advancements, and oriented toward the protection of human rights. Ultimately, this article calls for a legal framework that not only accommodates the characteristics of digital evidence but also protects defendants' fundamental rights in criminal proceedings.
