Abstract

The authority of the Attorney General to dismiss cases (seponeering) under Article 35 paragraph (1) letter c of Law Number 11 of 2021 represents the application of the opportunity principle in prosecution for the sake of public interest. The development of international research and policies, including the 2020 WHO recommendation concerning the medical and economic potential of cannabis, has created an urgent need to reform law enforcement policies regarding narcotic crimes involving cannabis for medical purposes. This study aims to assess the implementation of the opportunity principle in the context of protecting the public interest in the right to health as guaranteed under Articles 28A and 28H of the 1945 Constitution. The research employs a normative legal method with statutory and conceptual approaches by analyzing prosecutorial regulations, narcotics law, and doctrines of public interest and social justice. The findings indicate that the opportunity principle is a fundamental principle in controlling prosecution that must prioritize public benefit, non-discrimination, and the protection of citizens' constitutional rights. The application of seponeering in cases involving medical cannabis is justified as long as it is grounded in public health benefits, economic potential, and the broader interests of society. This study recommends the establishment of transparent prosecutorial guidelines in assessing public interest, enhanced inter-agency coordination in medical cannabis research, and harmonization of narcotics policies to ensure that the implementation of the opportunity principle is not influenced by political interests but truly serves as an instrument of social justice.

Abstract

Corruption is categorized as an extraordinary crime that requires extraordinary measures. One important strategy is asset recovery to compensate for state losses. However, the absence of explicit regulations regarding the principle of exclusionary rules in Indonesian positive law has caused disharmony between theory and practice. Purposes of the Research: This study aims to analyze the implications of asset recovery regulations on the application of exclusionary rules in the enforcement of criminal acts of corruption. Methods of the Research: This study uses a normative juridical method with a legislative and conceptual approach, focusing on the analysis of regulations and the authority of the District Attorney's Office related to asset recovery. Results / Main Findings / Novelty/Originality of the Research:The results of the study show that the lack of regulations and SOPs at the District Attorney's Office level has the potential to weaken the legitimacy of law enforcement. This condition emphasizes the need for comprehensive regulations that explicitly include the principle of exclusionary rules. In addition, the establishment of an Asset Recovery Section in the District Attorney's Office is necessary to ensure effectiveness, legal certainty, and justice in combating corruption.

Abstract

Pengaturan hakim ad hoc dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 46 Tahun 2009 tentang Pengadilan Tindak Pidana Korupsi masih bersifat sentralistik dan belum sepenuhnya mampu menjawab kebutuhan keadilan di tingkat daerah. Pola rekrutmen yang terpusat menyebabkan konsentrasi hakim ad hoc di kota-kota besar, khususnya ibu kota provinsi, sehingga menimbulkan ketimpangan distribusi Pengadilan Tindak Pidana Korupsi (Tipikor). Kondisi ini berdampak pada terbatasnya akses keadilan bagi masyarakat di kabupaten/kota yang jauh dari pusat pemerintahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kelemahan pengaturan hakim ad hoc dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 46 Tahun 2009 yang menghambat pemerataan pembentukan Pengadilan Tipikor di daerah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual, menggunakan bahan hukum primer dan sekunder yang diperoleh melalui studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mekanisme rekrutmen hakim ad hoc yang bersifat nasional belum mendukung prinsip desentralisasi peradilan Tipikor. Reformasi pengaturan diperlukan melalui penerapan rekrutmen berbasis kebutuhan daerah dengan mempertimbangkan jumlah perkara, tingkat kerawanan korupsi, dan ketersediaan sumber daya manusia lokal. Selain itu, dibutuhkan model kelembagaan yang lebih fleksibel, transparan, dan akuntabel guna memperkuat pemerataan akses keadilan.

Abstract

The development of financial technology through blockchain-based crypto assets has given rise to new patterns of economic crime, particularly money laundering offenses. The decentralized, anonymous, and cross-jurisdictional characteristics of crypto assets make them an effective means of concealing the illicit origin of criminal proceeds. Within the national legal framework, the regulation of money laundering under Law Number 8 of 2010 has not explicitly accommodated crypto asset transactions, resulting in normative gaps and legal uncertainty. These issues are reflected in the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia Cassation Decision Number 2029 K/Pid.Sus/2023 concerning Indra Kesuma, also known as Indra Kenz. This study aims to analyze the legal reasoning underlying judicial decisions in money laundering cases involving crypto asset-based schemes and to formulate regulatory reform of money laundering laws based on a cyber criminology approach. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The findings indicate that judges adopted a progressive interpretation of Article 1 paragraph (1), Article 3, and Article 4 of the Anti-Money Laundering Law by qualifying crypto assets as proceeds of crime. The cyber criminology approach underscores the necessity of digital evidentiary systems and a comprehensive understanding of blockchain technology. Furthermore, existing regulations remain inadequate, necessitating normative reform that includes the definition of crypto assets, obligations for reporting suspicious transactions, and the integration of on-chain Know Your Customer (KYC) mechanisms to ensure legal certainty and effective law enforcement.

Abstract

The  criminal  act  of  corruption  that  is  rampant  in  the  country  is  not  only  detrimental  to  state  finances  but  is  a  violaton  of  the  social  and  economic  rights  of  society  at  large,  corruption  is  no  longer  a  national  problem,  but  has  become  a  transnational  phenomenon  so  that  internatonal  cooperaton  is  essential  in  preventing  and  eradicating  it.  , in  fact,  for  what  has  been  caused  by  the  crimnal  act  of  corrupton,  extraordinary  efforts  are  needed  in  terms  of  prevention  and  eradication  of  crimnal  acts  of  corruption.  One  of  the  efforts  to  prevent  Indonesia  from  falling  due  to  corruption  is  to  confiscate  and  return  assets  resulting  from  corrupton  crimes  based  on  the  laws  and  regulations  in  force in  the  Indonesan  legal  system.  in  Indonesia,  there  is  no  uinfied  institution  that  has  the  right  to  deal  with  corruption.  The  eradication  of  corruption  in  Indonesia  is  carred  out  by  3  state  institutions,  namely  the  Attorney  General's  Office,  the  Police,  and  the  Corrupton  Eradication  Commission  (KPK).  The  eradication  of  corruption in  one  country  will  not  run  optimally  if  it  is  not  supported  by  the  government's  political  will  to  eradicate  corruption,  the  unity  of  state  institutions  that  eradicate  corrupton,  and  the  enforcement  of  existing  corrupton  eradication  regulations.
