Abstract

Money laundering crimes (ML) are currently committed not only by individuals but also by corporations. The provisions of Money Laundering Crimes (MLC Law) regulate corporations, specifically Limited Liability Companies (PTs). However, since the enactment of MLC Law, only five legally binding rulings have involved corporations as perpetrators of ML offenses. In these rulings, there are several errors in the application of law. These errors include the fulfillment of the benefit element only being met when there is an increase in wealth, overlooking other circumstances such as a decrease in liabilities that the company must pay or use for its operations. Furthermore, in another ruling, the panel rejected the additional criminal charge of dissolving the corporation, with the legal reasoning that MLC Law does not regulate corporate dissolution. There are several rulings in which limited liability companies (PTs) were named as suspects but were ultimately found not guilty because the element of intent to conceal or disguise the origin of assets derived from criminal offenses was not fulfilled. This paper then compares several ML cases that occurred in the UK involving PTs, reflecting on some of these cases. In this paper, the author propose several ideas for the application of MLC Law, particularly for PTs involved in ML offenses. The methodology employed is doctrinal research. The paper emphasizes the necessity of optimizing sanctions against corporations that violate the MLC Law, not only in their capacity as perpetrators of money laundering but also for failing to fulfill obligations stipulated under the law.

Abstract

Background: Judges play a crucial role in the judicial process. According to Article 1 point 8 of Law Number 8 of 1981 on Criminal Procedure (KUHAP), a judge is a state official authorized to adjudicate cases. Their duties include examining, deciding, and resolving cases. In making decisions, judges consider both aggravating and mitigating factors. Aggravating factors may include the defendant having previous convictions, while mitigating factors may include polite behavior during court proceedings. This article focuses on polite behavior as a mitigating factor. It explores how judges assess politeness in court and whether this factor remains relevant in modern criminal case decisions. Methods: To answer this problem, the author researches using the socio-legal method, where the author will examine the problem with legal norms governing polite elements as a reason for mitigation and supported by surveys to support data from existing norms and decisions related to this matter. Findings: Judges still consider the element of modesty as a reason to mitigate punishment in criminal cases. From the results of a survey of 76 judges from 64 courts, 49 respondents stated that the element of civility is still relevant to be maintained in the judicial process. Factors considered by judges as indicators of the defendant's civility in court include polite language, cooperative attitude, and non-verbal expressions that show respect for the trial process. Conclusion: This research shows that the element of modesty is still considered relevant by the majority of judges as a mitigating consideration. The defendant's demeanor in court can signal remorse and good faith which influences the judge's decision. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research combines a normative approach and socio-legal methods that are rarely used in the study of mitigating circumstances. A survey of 76 judges from different regions and ethnic backgrounds in Indonesia provides valuable insights into the actual practice of civility considerations in trials. This article confirms that the relevance of modesty is not just a formal tradition, but also reflects important social and cultural dynamics in the judicial process in Indonesia.

Abstract

The ongoing reform of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (“KUHAP”) seeks to align with the new Criminal Code (“KUHP 1 Tahun 2023”), which will take effect in 2026. A central issue in this reform concerns the coordination mechanism between investigators and public prosecutors, particularly the tension between functional differentiation and the principle of dominus litis. While functional differentiation separates the roles of investigators and prosecutors, dominus litis positions the prosecutor as the main authority responsible for controlling the progress of criminal cases. This study employs doctrinal legal research combined with a comparative approach to examine coordination practices in the Netherlands, France, China, and Thailand. The findings reveal that functional differentiation under the 1981 KUHAP limits the prosecutor’s role as dominus litis (from the Latin term meaning “controller of the case”), resulting in disharmony in coordination between investigators and prosecutors. This lack of harmony leads to inefficiencies in the pre-prosecution process, including the recurring exchange of case files (bolak-balik perkara). In contrast, universal practice shows that early prosecutorial involvement during the investigation stage fosters mutual understanding and ensures accurate supervision, thereby minimizing procedural delays.Furthermore, by referring to Article 132 of the 2023 Criminal Code, this paper argues that the principle of functional differentiation should no longer apply in Indonesia. The new provision strengthens the prosecutor’s role as dominus litis, affirming that investigation is an inseparable part of prosecution.

Abstract

Crown witnesses are witnesses who come from or are taken from one of the suspects or other defendants who jointly commit a criminal offence. In its application in criminal justice in Indonesia, the existence of crown witnesses is still a matter of debate between one another. This paper discusses the concept of crown witnesses in Indonesian criminal justice with perpetrator witnesses or better known as crown witnesses in Dutch criminal justice using the comparative law method. The similarities and differences that exist between the two legal systems are not intended to determine which legal system is better than the other, but are intended as a method to understand how the legal system in another country, namely the Netherlands. The results of the research show that crown witnesses and perpetrator witnesses generally have the same concept as each other, the regulation of crown witnesses is contained in SEMA Number 4 of 2011 which describes the determination of justice collaborators who are in the position of suspects not as the main perpetrators and the need for participation in the criminal act they are charged with. As for the regulation in the Netherlands, it is contained in the Dutch Criminal Code Procedure which is regulated in the terms crown witness and undertaking witness. There are several differences such as the determination of testimony by the prosecutor, the existence of an agreement before giving testimony in Dutch criminal justice, and the possibility of refusal to testify in Dutch criminal justice.

Abstract

The political direction of agrarian law with regard to customary law and customary rights (beschikkingsrecht) of indigenous peoples during the Dutch colonial period wanted to unify and codify land law that applied to all groups of people based on the principle of concordance, but failed miserably, so that the pluralism policy was still applied. The current problem is in contemporary Indonesia, so it can be predicted that the prospect of pluralist customary rights of indigenous peoples must be maintained because it is in line with the mandate of the constitution in the upcoming reform era in the face of globalization by combining with efforts to reform agrarian law and land law through research on the political direction of customary rights law for the fulfillment of human rights or the public interest, The research method used by the author to conduct research is Juridical Nomaritf, the results of research in this study need to be followed up by mapping customary rights according to the rules of Geodesy, so that it is clear the extent of customary rights areas in the archipelago and ultimately can contribute to supporting the existence and legal certainty of customary rights in particular and land law for the public interest which will provide fulfillment of human rights.

Abstract

Blockchain technology has been used in various sectors, notably in facilitating crypto asset transactions, specifically for processing an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) or token sales that were first introduced in 2013. In Indonesia, it can be observed that there are several legal issues in the execution that expose them to potential misuse in the ICO transaction, leading to criminal activities. Additionally, Indonesia was ranked as the second-highest country in the world to experience crypto asset fraud schemes in 2019. To address legal issues related to ICO, this study aims to provide a comprehensive legal assessment of ICO as a modern technology-based approach that is commonly used for raising organizational capital through the issuance of tokens. Following an analysis of the legal vulnerabilities in ICO and their impacts on the public, this study mainly proposes to regulate ICO in capital market law, which includes preventive legal measures and fundamental legal principles to protect the public. This study, using a comparative method, also explores the global prevalence and negativities associated with ICO, examines regulatory frameworks related to ICO in Switzerland and the United States, and identifies legal issues in the general use of blockchain technology, as well as emphasizes the needs of the Indonesian government’s response toin ensuring lawful legal certainty for legal actionICO, using a comparative method. Based on this assessment, it can be argued that strengthening the regulatory framework for ions of ICO, particularly in Indonesia, is crucial in preventing criminal actions related to in this transaction and ensuring legal protection as well as legal certainty for the public.

Abstract

Press coverage on criminal news has allegedly conducted trial by the press. Media seems to take the role as law enforcement by searching for evidence, interviewing witnesses, analyzing the case and at the end judging based on their opinion towards the criminal case. Trial by the press certainly contradict the principle of presumption of innocence and the fair trial. Trial by the press often found when reporting the news of murder case of Brigadier Yosua and the domestic violence case of Valencya. This research studied about the impact of trial by the press on the process of criminal law enforcement in Indonesia and how the media covers the criminal case to avoid trial by the press. The research method used is juridical normative with conceptual analysis, statute approach and case analysis. The findings of the research are that trial by the press resulted in trial by the public where people conclude their own judgment of one particular case. Post entry into force of the New Penal Code, alleged media conducting trial by the press is subject to imprisonment and fine under Article 281 of the New Penal Code Keywords: Trial by The Press, Pers, Presumption of Innocent, Fair Trial.
