Abstract

The crime of money laundering originating from the proceeds of narcotics crimes is a form of further crime (follow-up crime) which aims to disguise the origin of assets obtained illegally. One of the important instruments in eradicating criminal acts is asset confiscation which aims to eliminate the economic benefits of crime proceeds and support the effectiveness of law enforcement. This research aims to analyze the application of asset confiscation in money laundering crimes originating from narcotics crimes based on Decision Number 117/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Lsm and review it from the perspective of jinayah fiqh. This research is normative legal research with a statutory and regulatory approach and a case approach. Research data was obtained through a literature review of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials which were analyzed qualitatively. The research results show that the confiscation of assets in this decision has been carried out based on the provisions of Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering as an effort to return assets originating from criminal acts and break the chain of narcotics crimes. From the perspective of jinayah fiqh, confiscation of assets resulting from criminal acts can be categorized as a form of ta'zir sanction stipulated by Ulil Amri in order to create benefits and prevent damage (mafsadah) in society. Therefore, confiscation of assets resulting from money laundering crimes originating from narcotics crimes has relevance to the principles of maqashid al-syari'ah, especially in safeguarding assets (hifz al-mal) and realizing social transformation. Keywords: asset forfeiture, money laundering, narcotics, criminal offenses, Islamic criminal law.
