This study analyzes the Supreme Court ruling in the IK case concerning money laundering from the perspective of Islamic criminal law. This research employs a normative juridical method, analyzing primary and secondary legal sources. In this study, the author utilizes theories of sanction imposition, judicial consideration, progressive law, justice, and Maqashid al-Shari'ah. The findings indicate that the cassation ruling rejecting the defendant's appeal reflects the Supreme Court's commitment to law enforcement. However, the initial verdict is deemed to inadequately fulfill the principles of justice given the significant losses suffered by the victim. In Islamic criminal law, the actions are categorized as jarimah ta'zir, as they meet the elements of embezzlement (ghulul) and fraud (khilda). This study emphasizes the need for stricter punishments as a form of accountability for actions taken and a deterrent effect and protection for society in accordance with Islamic law and national law.
