Abstract

Corruption prevention in Indonesia remains weak due to inadequate enforcement of asset disclosure obligations for state officials. Although asset reporting is vital for transparency and accountability, it functions mainly as a formal compliance tool without strong sanctions. Comparative experiences from Denmark and Spain show that effective prevention requires comprehensive legal frameworks combining administrative and criminal penalties to ensure compliance and deter corruption. Indonesia’s current framework, limited to administrative sanctions, lacks coercive power. Strengthening it through explicit legal provisions aligned with international standards such as the UNCAC and OECD guidelines is essential to enhance accountability and reinforce corruption prevention.

Abstract

This article examines judicial authority in adjudicating village fund corruption, analyzing Decision Number 11/Pid.Sus-TPK/2023/PN through a normative juridical approach and John Rawls’s fairness perspective. While the Panel of Judges applied Article 3 of the Anti-Corruption Law, the three-year sentence is disproportionate given state losses of approximately IDR 1.95 billion, the Defendant’s public office, and the lack of restitution. The ruling highlights a tension between procedural legality and substantive justice, emphasizing the need for judges to exercise social sensitivity, apply public reason, and consider the socio-structural impact on vulnerable communities. A holistic approach ensures that judicial decisions are legally valid, ethically sound, and socially responsive, reinforcing the moral authority of the courts and protecting marginalized groups.
Corruptio Legis in Indonesian Legal Politics: A Legisprudential Analytical Approach Muhamad Pelengkahu

Abstract

This study conceptualises Corruptio Legis as a form of structural corruption operating within Indonesia’s legislative process, where formally valid procedures conceal substantive distortions of law, justice, and constitutional democracy. Using Wintgens’ legisprudence, Ekins’ theory of legislative intention, and Tuori’s ratio–voluntas framework, the analysis identifies key patterns of distortion, including legislative subordination to party elites, transactional lawmaking, and the marginalisation of public deliberation. Case studies of the stalled Asset Confiscation Bill and the Job Creation Law illustrate how oligarchic political interests displace public reason in lawmaking. The study proposes a four-step Corruptio Legisprudential Diagnosis Formula and advocates a Legislative Impact Assessment grounded in this framework to ensure that legislation is guided by rational deliberation rather than power-based interests.

Abstract

This paper assesses the efficacy of Nigeria's anti-corruption institutions—the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission—in curbing bribery activities that are well-controlled at all levels. Each institution plays its major role in making sure the purposes of its establishment are well met. However, the impression of corruption persists in Nigeria, damaging the nation's reputation and fostering an image of profound moral decay. Findings show that, since 1999, successive Nigerian administrations have sought novel anti-corruption measures. The Transparency International Corruption Report ranges from 2020 to 2023; Nigeria's ranks were between 136 and 140. Such records indicate that the war against corruption is a limited in progress. The current position of Nigeria ranks 140th out of 180 countries, with a score of 26/100, demonstrating that corruption remains a significant issue despite the presence of numerous anti-corruption agencies. This article employs qualitative and quantitative methods to analyse existing data and assess the effectiveness of Nigerian institutions in combating bribery. Such methodology assists in identifying gaps in enforcement, institutional weaknesses, and the impact of political interference as key barriers to success. Recommendations include strengthening legal frameworks, enhancing transparency, and promoting public awareness to foster a culture of accountability within Nigeria.

Abstract

The implementation of additional criminal sanctions for asset recovery under Law No. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2001 on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes faces significant challenges at the execution stage, particularly when convicts are listed as fugitives on the wanted list (DPO). Law enforcement conducted in absentia through a “follow the money” approach lacks an integrated regulatory framework, despite the asset recovery concept being adopted in Indonesia since the early 2000s. This study examines the legal certainty of the “follow the money” approach in the execution of asset recovery orders in in absentia corruption cases. Using a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, the study finds that the current ius constitutum remains fragmented and is dominated by internal prosecutorial guidelines that are not systematically integrated across law enforcement agencies. This normative fragmentation creates a deficit of legal certainty in efforts to recover state financial losses. Therefore, regulatory synchronization is required to ensure effective legal certainty in accordance with the principles of the justice system.

Abstract

The una via principle, originating from European legal traditions, requires the state to choose a single enforcement mechanism administrative or criminal for the same unlawful conduct in order to avoid overlapping sanctions. In Indonesia, this principle has been formally recognized in taxation and capital market regulation, yet it remains absent in the enforcement of corruption law. This gap becomes particularly visible in cases involving village fund corruption. Empirical data from the Indonesian Attorney General’s Office between 2019 and 2023 record 1,842 cases with financial losses ranging from IDR 50 million to IDR 900 million. Despite the restoration of state losses in a significant number of cases, more than seventy percent still proceed through criminal prosecution, resulting in enforcement dualism, institutional inefficiency, and concerns regarding the proportionality of sanctions. This article argues that adapting the una via principle to corruption cases involving relatively limited losses could support a more coherent enforcement framework. Drawing on comparative experiences from the Netherlands, France, Singapore, Japan, and Malaysia, the study proposes a conditional una via model that enables prosecutors, as dominus litis, to prioritize administrative or civil recovery while maintaining criminal prosecution for more serious corruption offenses.

Abstract

This study examines two fundamental issues concerning the Attorney General’s Guideline No. 7 of 2020, which regulates the granting of permission for the summoning, examination, search, arrest, and detention of prosecutors suspected of committing criminal acts. The primary issues analyzed are: (1) the juridical and philosophical foundations underlying the issuance of the Guideline, and (2) the legal basis and substantive reasons for its subsequent revocation. This research employs a normative legal research method, using statutory, conceptual, and philosophical approaches by analyzing laws and regulations, legal doctrines, and relevant scholarly opinions. Juridically, the issuance of the Guideline was grounded in Article 8 paragraph (5) of Law Number 11 of 2021 concerning the Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Indonesia, which requires the Attorney General’s authorization for law enforcement actions against prosecutors. This provision aims to prevent arbitrary criminalization and protect prosecutorial independence. Philosophically, the Guideline was intended to provide procedural legal protection for prosecutors in their role as dominus litis, enabling them to perform their duties independently and free from intimidation while preserving the dignity of the prosecutorial profession. However, the Guideline was revoked shortly after its enactment through the Decree of the Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia Number 163 of 2020 due to political, legal, and sociological considerations, particularly public concerns regarding equality before the law and the potential for prosecutorial impunity. This study concludes that the issuance and revocation of the Guideline reflect an inherent tension between the need for institutional protection of prosecutors and public demands for transparency, accountability, and equality before the law within Indonesia’s criminal justice system.
Illegal Mining and Penal Law Enforcement in Lampung, Indonesia: Study for Environmental Justice and Governance Dzaky Muhammad Haris

Abstract

This article critically examines the effectiveness of penal law enforcement against illegal mining in Lampung Province, Indonesia, through a normative–empirical approach. Lampung is selected as the research locus because its illegal mining dynamics differ fundamentally from those of Indonesia’s major mining regions such as Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua. In contrast to regions where mining is embedded in formal development frameworks and dominated by large-scale corporate actors, illegal mining in Lampung is predominantly informal, small-scale, and community-based, yet generates significant environmental degradation. This distinctive configuration reveals regulatory challenges that are insufficiently addressed by Indonesia’s nationally uniform mining and penal policies. Applying criminal policy framework formulation, application, and execution, this study identifies structural weaknesses that manifest acutely in Lampung. The formulation stage produces legal uncertainty through excessive centralization authority, decriminalization of abusive official conduct, and regulatory norms that disproportionately criminalize local communities. These problems are intensified by limited local regulatory discretion, creating a disjunction between centralized legal norms and local socio-ecological realities. The application law enforcement exhibits a persistent gap between actual and recorded illegal mining activities, compounded by fragmented inter-agency coordination. The execution of judicial sanctions remain largely symbolic due to ambiguous legal mechanisms governing fines, asset forfeiture, and environmental restoration. The article advances the novel argument that Indonesia’s penal response to illegal mining suffers not merely from weak enforcement, but from a structural mismatch between centralized criminal regulation and region-specific mining practices. This study contributes to socio-legal and environmental law scholarship by demonstrating the limitations of uniform penal frameworks and emphasizing the need for region-sensitive regulatory and enforcement models oriented toward substantive justice and ecological protection.

Abstract

Bid rigging reflects the intersection between competition law and corruption, particularly where collusive procurement practices result in state financial losses. This study examines the legal status and probative value of decisions issued by the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) as documentary evidence in corruption investigations following the enactment of Law Number 20 of 2025 on the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). The research employs a normative legal methodology using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings show that final and binding (inkracht) KPPU decisions constitute admissible documentary evidence under the new KUHAP because they contain objective factual findings concerning the actus reus of bid-rigging. These findings also provide persuasive evidence from which investigators may infer mens rea, subject to corroboration with other admissible evidence. The recognition of KPPU decisions strengthens corruption investigations by enabling investigators from the Police, the Attorney General's Office, and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to build upon established findings of collusive conduct while coordinating with authorized audit institutions to establish state financial losses. The study recommends adopting cross-institutional technical regulations to facilitate digital evidence sharing and interoperability between the KPPU and criminal justice agencies, thereby improving investigative efficiency and supporting the principle of a speedy trial in procurement-related corruption cases..
