Abstract

The principle of guilt is universally recognized by worldwide nations as the absolute basis of a sentenced person. Principle of No Crime without Guilt or Principle of Guilt contains an understanding that any person committing an action, which contradicts with applicable criminal law, can be sentenced due to the absence of guilt in his/her actions. The principle of no crime without guilt is closely related to principle of legality, stating that there is no crime without previous arrangement. It means that the element of guilt can be attached if there are available regulations stipulating that the committed act is criminal act. This research aims to compare the principles of guilt in Indonesian and English Criminal Law. The method employed in this research was a normative-legal method based on secondary data as research material so that it focused on theoretically speculative measures and normative and qualitative analysis, which were the focus of the discussion on how principle of guilt in the criminal liability in Indonesia compared to with principle of guilt in the UK. The results of the study show that there were differences in the application of the principle of guilt in Indonesian and English criminal law.

Abstract

Through the mega-corruption case of the tin trade, the state demonstrated the existence of a de facto asset recovery regime. Although the legal instruments used were fragmented—a partial combination of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), the Corruption Law (Tipikor), and the Money Laundering Law (TPPU)—their execution in the field proved capable of recovering assets amounting to nearly Rp1 trillion through the auction of confiscated goods from one of the main actors, Harvey Moeis. This study analyzes this phenomenon using the triangle with an axis theory, reconstructed through the institutional synergy of the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Prosecutor's Office, and the Police. This theory is used to examine how fragmented law enforcement collaboration without a single law can still produce massive asset recovery output. Using normative legal research methods and a sociological legal approach, this article assesses the extent to which this "patchwork" law enforcement can effectively recover state losses while severing the financial lifeblood of structured corruption networks. The research findings show that while de facto effective at the downstream actor asset execution level through the power of financial intelligence data integration, this fragmented regime still has fundamental limitations in reaching and crippling intellectual dandies at the upstream level without a unified, independent asset forfeiture regulation.

Abstract

The financial system and the national economy are significantly affected by complex money laundering crimes (ML), with criminal law policies regulated in several laws, including Law No. 8 of 2010, being used in Indonesia to combat money laundering. The main objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of criminal law policies in preventing money laundering, the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies, and the Gayus Tambunan case – a striking illustration of the weakness in the application of law in Indonesia. This study uses a statutory approach, literature review, and normative legal methodology. The findings of this study show that although there is a legal framework in place, there are still several barriers in implementation and law enforcement, including poor coordination between agencies, insufficient human resources, and low public awareness and involvement. Therefore, to build an efficient and just law enforcement system in combating money laundering in Indonesia, it is crucial to strengthen regulations, enhance the capabilities of law enforcement agencies, and educate the public.

Abstract

Judicial independence is a fundamental element of democratic governance because it ensures impartial justice, protects human rights, and upholds the rule of law. Previous analyses often evaluated judicial autonomy through general literature reviews without grounding the discussion in explicit statutory frameworks. To address this gap, this study employs a normative juridical method to analyze the statutory foundations of judicial independence and fair trial guarantees. The analysis focuses primarily on Law No. 12 of 2011 on the Establishment of Laws and Regulations (as amended by Law No. 13 of 2022) and Law No. 48 of 2009 on Judicial Power, examined alongside international legal instruments including Articles 8, 10, and 11 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Articles 2(3) and 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The findings indicate that while statutory provisions provide explicit guarantees for judicial autonomy, practical enforcement remains vulnerable to political interference and institutional capture. This study concludes that aligning administrative regulations with statutory standards under Law No. 48 of 2009 is essential for sustaining democratic governance and the rule of law.
