Abstract

The regulation of the criminal accountability system for discretion that causes state losses is governed by Law Number 31 of 1999, as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 on the Eradication of Corruption. This law includes the element of "abusing authority, opportunity, or means available due to one's position or rank that may cause state financial losses," which can lead to criminal punishment. Additionally, Law Number 30 of 2014 on Government Administration also regulates the imposition of administrative sanctions. The purpose of this research is to analyze the priority mechanism when there is an overlap between administrative and criminal illegality in cases of discretion by government officials that result in state financial losses. This research employs a normative legal method. The findings suggest that, according to current legislation, when a case involves overlapping issues between the Corruption Law and the Government Administration Law, priority should be given to administrative measures based on the Government Administration Law. This approach is aimed at improving orderly government administration and preventing abuse of authority.

Abstract

Article 263 paragraph (2) of Law Number 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code limits the grounds on which a Judicial Review of a court decision may be filed. This limitation stems from the extraordinary nature of the Judicial Review, as it provides a mechanism to reopen a case that has obtained permanent legal force (inkracht van gewijsde). Errors in assessing the grounds for a Judicial Review can undermine the principles of legal certainty and justice, which are fundamental to the rule of law. This paper analyzes the use of sentencing disparity in corruption cases as a basis for Judicial Review, as recognized by the Supreme Court of Indonesia. The study employs a normative-descriptive research method. The findings indicate that sentencing disparity in corruption cases is multi-causal, suggesting that it does not always constitute a factual matter but may also involve legal considerations. The study concludes that determining sentencing disparity as an instance of judicial error in a Judicial Review must be conducted with due regard to the principle of judicial independence. Furthermore, with the issuance of Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2020 concerning Sentencing Guidelines under Articles 2 and 3 of the Corruption Eradication Law, issues of sentencing disparity should ideally be resolved through ordinary legal remedies such as appeals or cassation.

Abstract

The law regulates that abuse of authority that results in state financial losses is a criminal offence of corruption. Law 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration regulates the accountability mechanism for discretion that falls into the category of abuse of authority which then causes state losses which can lead to the application of administrative sanctions as stipulated in Article 80 paragraph (4) of the Government Administration Law. Based on this, the researcher draws a theoretical problem regarding the Prevention of Corruption Through Administrative Enforcement Mechanisms against Abuse of Authority in the Form of Discretion that causes state financial losses using normative juridical legal research methods with a focus on discussions related to the application of systematic specialist principles in cases of abuse of authority that cause state financial losses as a concept. Where based on the research that has been carried out, it is known that with the development of applicable legal instruments, administrative enforcement against abuse of authority in the form of discretion that causes state financial losses can be used as an instrument to prevent the occurrence of a criminal act of corruption by using the principle that does not override each other,  meaning that if it can be resolved by administrative instruments then criminal law instruments are no longer applied, which is theoretically called the principle of Una-Via or ultra vires, meaning that if a case has been resolved administratively then the opportunity to resolve the case by other legal means is closed.
