Abstract

Crimes in the banking sector related to money laundering show a level of complexity that continues to increase along with the development of the financial system and technology in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the various forms of banking crimes and their relationship to money laundering practices, while assessing the effectiveness of existing regulations. The method used is normative legal research with a statutory and conceptual approach, supported by a qualitative analysis of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results of the study indicate that banking crimes often serve as predicate crimes in money laundering, such as fraud, embezzlement, and abuse of authority. While their implementation still faces obstacles such as weak supervision, suboptimal coordination between institutions, and limited law enforcement. Therefore, strengthening the supervisory system, increasing the capacity of officers, and more synergistic cooperation are needed to increase the effectiveness of prevention and prosecution of these crimes in Indonesia.
