Abstract

This study conducts a juridical analysis of extortion crimes within public service, focusing on the issuance of Occupational Safety and Health (K3) certification at Indonesia’s Ministry of Manpower. Employing a normative legal approach and a case study methodology, the research examines the legal frameworks in the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) and the Corruption Eradication Law (UU Tipikor), highlighting the principle of lex specialis derogat legi generali. Through document review and comparative analysis, the study reconstructs the modus operandi and actor network involved in a Transnational Organized Transaction (OTT) by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), revealing systemic bureaucratic coercion and illicit fees up to IDR 6 million per applicant. Findings demonstrate that these actions fulfill the elements of Article 12(e) UU Tipikor rather than general extortion provisions, warranting harsher penalties. Recommendations include digitalizing K3 certification processes, strengthening internal and external oversight, and enforcing zero tolerance through maximal sanctions and bureaucratic reform.
