<![CDATA[Trading in influence is increasingly under public scrutiny, as legal cases emerge that are detrimental to the public, businesses, and the state. Trading in influence is often used by officials and/or their subordinates or colleagues to influence the policies or actions of fellow officials for their own benefit and/or the benefit of others. This trading in influence is also fraught with business collusion and bribery, involving the abuse of real or supposed influence. Provisions are needed that can cover not only civil servants or state administrators but also business actors, who are difficult to prosecute under the Corruption Law (UU TPK). This is because the scope of this offense is broader, encompassing unlawful acts, unfair business competition, and other legal aspects. Although this act is clearly detrimental, the perpetrators often escape the reach of the law due to laws and regulations that do not explicitly regulate and provide sanctions. Although Indonesia has ratified the UN Convention Against Corruption, Vienna, 2003, through Law No. 7 of 2006, Indonesian laws and regulations do not specifically regulate Trading in Influence. This study aims to examine the harmonization of Indonesian laws and regulations in relation to the UNCAC, with the specific goal of determining legal liability for trading in influence through a criminal law approach]]>
