<![CDATA[This research aims to provide a solution regarding the optimization of the judge's role in tracing non-account assets suspected of originating from money laundering crimes based on the authority mandated in Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2013. The primary issue in handling money laundering is the difficulty of proving assets not recorded in bank accounts, even with the implementation of a reverse burden of proof system, as such evidence is prone to manipulation and fabrication by perpetrators. This study employs a normative legal research method with a statutory analysis approach. The results indicate that judges hold a crucial position as the final bastion of justice through the optimization of authorities regulated in Article 15 and Article 17 of Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2013. This optimization includes the judge's authority to conduct direct examinations where the assets are located, request expert testimony—such as from forensic accounting experts to detect hidden fund flows—and request new materials based on financial intelligence reports from the PPATK. By maximizing the visionary role of judges in utilizing these legal instruments, it is expected that obstacles in proving non-account assets can be overcome so that the process of state asset recovery can be carried out more effectively and fairly.]]>
