Abstract

Corruption constitutes a grave legal and societal issue, leading to the misallocation of public funds and adversely impacting critical sectors such as education, health, and infrastructure due to inadequate financial support. As an act of abuse of power for personal gain, corruption not only inflicts significant financial losses on the state but also undermines the stability of social, economic, and governance frameworks. In the Indonesian context, the eradication of corruption demands heightened attention, as the financial detriment suffered by the state due to corrupt practices frequently reaches substantial amounts. Anti-corruption efforts prioritize not merely the imposition of sanctions on offenders but also the restitution of state financial losses. Such restitution is a pivotal mechanism for reinstating the rights of the state and the public, serving as a prospective solution for strengthening anti-corruption measures within the framework of criminal law reform in Indonesia. From an Islamic criminal law perspective, the restitution of state financial losses aligns with key principles of justice ('adl), accountability (mas'uliyyah), and the prohibition of harm (darar). Islamic law advocates for the recovery of misappropriated assets as an ethical and legal obligation to restore societal balance and prevent future misconduct. This study concludes that integrating Islamic principles into Indonesia's criminal law framework can enhance the effectiveness of corruption eradication efforts. The synergy between conventional legal mechanisms and Islamic criminal law offers a comprehensive approach to ensuring accountability, promoting justice, and safeguarding public resources.

Abstract

The digital transformation of public administration has significantly altered the management of state finances in Indonesia. The integration of information technology into budgeting, revenue collection, expenditure management, and financial reporting has given rise to the concept of digital fiscal government, which relies on data-driven governance to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability. Alongside these developments, the increasing dependence on digital systems has generated new legal challenges concerning the protection of state financial data, particularly within the implementation of digital auditing. Existing regulations governing public finance, electronic systems, and data protection remain fragmented and have not yet established a comprehensive legal framework capable of addressing the complexities of digital audits. This study aims to examine the development of digital fiscal government in Indonesia, identify legal issues related to the protection of state financial data in digital auditing, and formulate a legal framework that supports effective and accountable digital audit practices. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Legal materials are analyzed qualitatively through the interpretation of legislation, legal doctrines, and relevant scholarly works concerning public finance governance, digital government, and data protection. The findings indicate that the rapid digitalization of fiscal administration has not been accompanied by specific regulations governing digital auditing. This regulatory gap creates legal uncertainty regarding data access authority, cybersecurity standards, accountability for technology-based audit mechanisms, and the protection of strategic state financial information. Furthermore, the growing use of data analytics and artificial intelligence in auditing raises concerns regarding transparency, reliability, and legal responsibility for algorithm-based decisions. Therefore, a new legal framework is required to integrate principles of state financial data protection, cybersecurity, technological accountability, and digital governance. Such a framework is essential to ensure legal certainty and strengthen the effectiveness of digital auditing within Indonesia’s evolving fiscal governance system.

Abstract

Drug crimes are a form of crime that has a systemic impact on public health, security, and order. The conventional criminal justice system, which tends to emphasize imprisonment, has not been fully effective in addressing the root causes of drug abuse, especially for users. In light of this, the restorative justice concept has surfaced as a substitute that seeks to rebuild the community, victims, and offenders via communication and rehabilitation. This study examines the legal implications of implementing restorative justice for drug crimes to realize restorative justice and rehabilitation for perpetrators. Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, Supreme Court Regulation Number 4 of 2010, Attorney General Regulation Number 15 of 2020, and Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code are examined using a normative method. The study's findings suggest that restorative justice is only appropriate for drug users who fulfill specific requirements, such as not being recidivists and having a limited amount of evidence. The implementation of this approach has had a positive impact on reducing overcrowding in correctional institutions and fulfilling offenders' human rights to rehabilitation. However, obstacles remain, such as limited explicit regulations in the Narcotics Law and a lack of adequate rehabilitation facilities. Policy reform and strengthening synergy between law enforcement agencies are crucial steps in expanding the comprehensive implementation of restorative justice in the future.

Abstract

Money laundering through property transactions poses a significant threat to Indonesia’s legal system and economic integrity due to the high value and complex nature of real estate dealings. Notaries, as public officials authorized to draft authentic deeds and verify legal transactions, occupy a strategic position in detecting and preventing money laundering activities. This study aims to analyze the role of notaries in preventing money laundering in property transactions through the reformulation of reporting obligations. The research employs a normative legal method using statutory and conceptual approaches by examining Law Number 8 of 2010 on the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering, Law Number 2 of 2014 on the Position of Notaries, and PPATK Regulation Number 3 of 2021 concerning reporting procedures for certain professions. The findings reveal that although the legal framework clearly establishes notaries as reporting parties, implementation remains ineffective due to internal obstacles such as limited technical understanding and conflicts with professional secrecy, as well as external obstacles including weak coordination with PPATK and insufficient legal protection for reporting notaries. This study concludes that reformulating reporting obligations is necessary through clearer normative positioning of notaries, simplified and digitized reporting mechanisms, strengthened legal protection, and continuous professional training. Optimizing these aspects will enhance the preventive function of notaries and significantly contribute to national efforts to combat money laundering in the property sector.

Abstract

The collusion of law enforcement officers in protecting the circulation of narcotics within the government is a serious phenomenon that threatens the integrity of the legal system and state security. This study aims to analyze this problem from a criminological and legal perspective. A criminological approach employs to identify the causal factors, modus operandi patterns, and impacts of crimes committed by officers, with reference to the theories of White-Collar Crime, State Crime, and Organized Crime. The results of the analysis indicate that economic factors such as bribery and gratuities, weak structural oversight, and low moral integrity of officers are the main drivers of the conspiracy. The modes found include manipulation of evidence, protection of certain networks, and abuse of authority to facilitate the distribution of narcotics, including in correctional institutions. The legal approach explains the relevant legal framework, including Articles 112, 114, and 132 of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics; Articles 5, 6, 11, and 12 of Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption; and Articles 421, 422, 55, and 56 of the Criminal Code. The analysis reveals weak provisions for imposing increased sanctions on involved officers and ineffective external oversight mechanisms. The study's conclusions confirm a close relationship between regulatory weaknesses and the prevalence of collusion among officers, necessitating revisions to the Narcotics Law, strengthening independent oversight, protecting witnesses and whistleblowers, and fostering officer integrity. Implementing these recommendations is expected to break the chain of officer involvement in drug trafficking networks and restore public trust in law enforcement.

Abstract

Permasalah hukum yang terus berulang dalam penanganan perkara korupsi di lingkungan Badan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN) adalah ketidakjelasan konsep kerugian negara, khususnya saat berhadapan dengan dinamika risiko bisnis korporasi dan tindakan ultra vires direksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis secara kritis batas demarkasi antara kerugian negara yang berdimensi pidana dengan kerugian bisnis yang merupakan konsekuensi lumrah dari aktivitas komersial BUMN, serta merumuskan ulang kerangka kewajiban pidana bisnis secara proporsional. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik yuridis norma hukum, konseptual, dan komparatif. Putusan pengadilan, undang-undang dan peraturan terkait, serta putusan Mahkamah Konstitusional merupakan contoh sumber hukum utama. Temuan menunjukkan konsepsi kerugian negara dalam hukum pidana korupsi memerlukan rekonstruksi fundamental, mengingat penerapannya yang tidak tepat berpotensi mengkriminalisasi keputusan bisnis yang sah. Sistem hukum Indonesia harus mengadopsi teori Aturan Pengambilan Keputusan Korporasi sebagai pelindung direksi BUMN dari kriminalisasi atas keputusan berisiko namun itikad baik. Selain itu, pemilahan antara pertanggungjawaban perdata dan pidana atas tindakan ultra vires direksi memerlukan tolok ukur yang lebih presisi. Artikel ini merekomendasikan reformulasi definisi kerugian negara, penguatan aspek mens rea dalam konstruksi delik korupsi di BUMN, dan harmonisasi antara hukum korporasi dengan hukum pidana korupsi.

Abstract

Law enforcement in corruption cases in Indonesia often faces challenges related to proving the element of state financial loss. One of the issues that arises is the authority of judges to independently determine the amount of state loss without relying on an official audit by state audit institutions such as the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK) or the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP). This study employs a normative juridical research method using a statute approach and an analytical approach to examine the legal basis, judicial practices, and implications of such authority. The findings indicate that although Article 183 of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) grants judges the authority to decide based on at least two valid pieces of evidence, the absence of an official audit can lead to legal uncertainty, the risk of judicial error, and violations of the defendant’s right to a fair trial. Therefore, harmonization between regulations and judicial practice is necessary to ensure legal certainty, protection of human rights, and the effectiveness of corruption eradication.

Abstract

The Asset Forfeiture Bill (RUU Perampasan Aset) is an important instrument in strengthening the eradication of corruption crimes, as it provides a legal basis for the state to seize assets resulting from corruption without having to wait for a legally binding criminal verdict. Although it was proposed as early as 2010 and included in the National Legislation Program (Prolegnas) 2015–2019, the discussion of the bill has often been delayed. In 2023, the government and the House of Representatives (DPR) included the Asset Forfeiture Bill in the 2023 Prolegnas. However, until the end of the DPR RI’s and the government’s 2019–2024 term, the bill had yet to be passed. This research aims to analyze the domination of political power in the lawmaking process concerning the Asset Forfeiture Bill. The study uses a normative juridical method with a literature study approach. The issues examined include: (1) the legal condition of asset forfeiture in Indonesia; (2) the dynamics of the debate that have caused delays in the passage of the Asset Forfeiture Bill; and (3) the political factors that influence the stagnation of the bill's ratification amid strong public pressure.The results of the study show: first, that the legal regulation of asset forfeiture in Indonesia still experiences a significant normative void. Although regulations related to the forfeiture of assets resulting from corruption are stipulated in Law Number 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law Number 20 of 2001, there is no comprehensive provision regarding asset forfeiture from perpetrators who have fled, cannot be found, or have died without heirs. Therefore, special regulations on asset forfeiture are needed, including the management of ownerless assets as state assets. Second, the delay in the discussion of the Asset Forfeiture Bill is influenced by the inconsistency of legislative priorities in the DPR, concerns about potential human rights violations, and the intervention of political and economic interests involving various parties. Third, although there is strong public pressure, internal political dynamics within the DPR remain the main obstacle. Disagreements between factions, concerns over the political implications of regulatory implementation, and the absence of consensus on a legal model that aligns with human rights principles are dominant factors slowing the legislative process

Abstract

Background: Legal research often faces a methodological gap between law in books and law in action, which limits the understanding of why legal norms are not always effectively implemented in society. Objective: This study aims to examine methodological challenges in modern legal research by exploring the relationship between normative and empirical approaches from a socio-legal perspective. Methods: This study employs a normative-empirical literature-based approach using socio-legal analysis. Secondary data, including legal regulations, court decisions, and previous empirical studies, were analyzed through literature reviews and document analysis to identify gaps between legal norms and their implementation in practice. Results: The findings demonstrate that the relationship between law in books and law in action is dynamic and frequently influenced by social, cultural, economic, and power-related factors. Normative approaches alone cannot fully explain legal realities, whereas empirical approaches may lack sufficient prescriptive orientation. A socio-legal approach provides an integrative framework by combining normative analysis, empirical inquiry, and contextual interpretation. Conclusion: This study proposes a multi-level integrative socio-legal research design that bridges normative and empirical dimensions, enabling legal analysis to understand law not only as a system of formal rules but also as a living social practice.
