Abstract

This study analyzes the evolution of legal frameworks and the implementation of corporate criminal liability in digital economic crimes in Indonesia. Using a normative juridical method supported by empirical data, the research examines statutory regulations, official institutional reports, and relevant case studies involving digital corporate offenses such as illegal fintech operations, e-commerce fraud, and cryptocurrency-based money laundering. The findings reveal that despite the recognition of corporations as subjects of criminal law under the 2023 Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law), and the Anti-Money Laundering Law (TPPU Law), law enforcement remains focused on individual offenders and rarely addresses systemic organizational fault. Comparative analysis shows that Indonesia has not yet adopted the corporate culture liability model widely applied in international jurisdictions, which evaluates structural negligence and corporate ethical culture. The study concludes that a reformulation of Indonesia’s criminal law policy is required to emphasize comprehensive corporate accountability and to enhance law enforcement mechanisms in addressing digital economic crimes effectively.
