Abstract

Government procurement of goods and services is a crucial instrument in national development that is vulnerable to abuse of authority by public officials. This study aims to analyze Indonesian criminal law regulations regarding abuse of authority in the procurement of goods and services and the role of law enforcement officials in prosecuting and preventing such practices. The method used is normative legal research, examining relevant laws and regulations, particularly Law Number 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption and Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration, as well as analyzing court decisions and related legal literature. The results of the study indicate that criminal law regulations regarding abuse of authority have been comprehensively regulated through various regulations that integrate administrative and criminal aspects. Law enforcement officials, such as the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Prosecutor's Office, and the Police, play a strategic role in repressive, preventive, and educational functions. The study concludes that firm, proportional, and just law enforcement, accompanied by strengthening the internal oversight system and synergy between institutions, are necessary to minimize abuse of authority and realize transparent, accountable, and corruption-free governance.
