Abstract

The dynamics of radicalism and terrorism in Indonesia never cease. Even at the end of 2024, Densus 88 Antiterror arrested a number of perpetrators involved in various terrorist activities. This shows that radicalism and terrorism continue to develop through small cells that spread radical ideology. And, if we let our guard down, they will certainly carry out acts of terrorism using various schemes. To support these radical-terrorist activities, significant funding is required. There are at least two main channels: legal and illegal. Legal fund-raising by radical terrorist groups is carried out through certain disguised methods, such as donations, charity boxes, and some legal businesses. On the other hand, the illegal channel is known as "fai'," where they justify using methods such as robbery, theft, fraud, and others. Law Number 9 of 2013 on the Eradication and Prevention of Terrorism Financing Crimes serves as the legal basis for prosecuting terrorism financing activities. This study successfully uncovered various financing terrorism schemes. It was found in the field that radical groups still rely on legitimate businesses to fund their radical activities. In addition to conventional businesses, they utilise social media and virtual platforms to collect and transfer funds. They are more likely to use cryptocurrency, specifically Bitcoin, due to its anonymity and the difficulty in tracking it. Non-conventional methods such as cyber fraud in the form of investment scams, as well as cybercrimes like hacking websites and conducting other cyberattacks, can generate funds.

Abstract

The recognition of customary law in the New Criminal Code is like a double-edged sword: on one hand, it acknowledges customary law, but on the other, it imposes limitations cloaked in formalism. This study aims to identify customary criminal offenses that are still practiced in indigenous communities and to analyze the perspectives of indigenous communities regarding customary law as the basis for criminal punishment, unlike previous studies that were still conceptual in nature and lacked empirical support. Thus, this study presents an empirical perspective from indigenous communities regarding the recognition of customary criminal law in the New Criminal Code. The approach in this study is socio-legal, employing qualitative and interpretive analysis. The research was conducted using a purposive sampling method in Sembalun Village and Bangket Parak Village through in-depth interviews with traditional leaders and a literature review. This study concludes that the formalization of customary criminal law through local regulations has the potential to weaken its dynamic nature, given that, empirically, customary criminal law in Sembalun Village and Bangket Parak Village continues to evolve in response to the needs, values, and norms of the local community. Traditional leaders have responded positively to the recognition in the New Criminal Code, noting that customary law still holds greater binding power than state law. Therefore, the regulation of customary criminal law should be sufficiently affirmed in the general provisions of the Criminal Code as a guideline for judges in uncovering the living law within the community, without the need for further formalization through local regulations, to maintain a balance between state law and legal pluralism within Indonesian society.
