The diverse criminal acts occurring in Indonesia today not only harm individuals, but also rampant corruption by officeholders who fail to carry out their duties honestly. Asset confiscation in corruption crimes is an important instrument in corruption eradication efforts in Indonesia, serving both preventive and repressive functions. This study aims to analyze the role and effectiveness of asset confiscation in recovering state financial losses and creating a deterrent effect for perpetrators. The method used is a normative juridical approach with a statutory approach, specifically examining Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001. Asset confiscation serves not only as a means of punishment, but also as an effort to prevent the emergence of deviant behavior that is detrimental to the state. However, its implementation still faces obstacles, such as limited specific regulations, complexity of evidence, and less than optimal coordination between law enforcement agencies, so that strengthening regulations and law enforcement systems is needed so that asset confiscation can be carried out more effectively.
