<![CDATA[This paper examines professional crimes committed by prosecutors in Indonesia, which constitute both ethical violations and criminal offenses. Normatively, prosecutors are bound by the Prosecutor's Code of Conduct (Perja No. PER-014/A/JA/11/2012), which demands strict integrity and professionalism. However, a gap exists between normative rules and reality, as evidenced by bribery cases involving prosecutors like Pinangki and Farizal. This study employs a normative legal method using statutory and case approaches. The findings reveal that weak preventive supervision, the limited recommendatory authority of the Prosecutorial Commission, and reactive enforcement are primary factors behind recurring ethical violations. Although offenders have faced criminal sanctions and dishonorable discharge reflecting equality before the law, preventive effectiveness remains low. Therefore, regulatory reform is essential to strengthen the authority of external supervisory bodies, enhance internal enforcement transparency, and build a culture of integrity to restore public trust.]]>
