Abstract

A core tenet of criminal law is the principle of legality, which dictates that no conduct is punishable without a pre-existing legal prohibition (nullum crimen, nulla poena sine lege). This concept, codified in Article 1(1) of the Timorese Penal Code, forms the bedrock of the nation’s legal framework, ensuring predictability in the law and the protection of fundamental human rights. With the ratification of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption/UNCAC 2003 by the Timor-Leste Government in 2009, and the National Parliament has criminalized Illicit Enrichment as a criminal act of corruption in its national law. However, in the formulation of illicit enrichment, there are norms that are unclear, vague and give rise to interpretation in law enforcement. The unclear formulation of the law, lex certa will create legal uncertainty for the community due to ambiguity. This study aims to analyze the existence of the lex certa principle in the theory of the principle of legality towards Illicit Enrichment, and how its implications in application, in order to build a strong legal system. Using a library research method, this study examines relevant legal, conceptual, and expert opinions. The results indicate that illicit enrichment cannot be implemented in Timor-Leste due to unclear, vague, and ambiguous formulations of the norm, as well as conflicts with the Timor-Leste Constitution. In conclusion, the study recommends clarifying and precisely defining illicit enrichment provisions to comply with the lex certa principle, ensuring legal certainty, effective enforcement, and alignment with constitutional norms.

Abstract

Debt collection in motor vehicle financing in Indonesia continues to rely heavily on coercive practices carried out by third-party actors commonly known as mata elang (matel). These methods do more than raise questions of civil liability; they frequently spill over into social conflict and serious criminal law risks, as illustrated by recurring incidents of violence resulting in loss of life and broader public harm. Such conditions point to a deeper, systemic failure in the enforcement of credit agreements—one that has evolved through informal mechanisms and operates with fragile legal legitimacy. This study undertakes a normative examination of the structural weaknesses inherent in coercive debt collection practices and advances a non-coercive enforcement model grounded in blockchain technology. Using a normative legal methodology supported by conceptual and analytical approaches, the research explores issues of legitimacy, criminal liability risk, legal certainty, and the role of the state in enforcing credit obligations. The findings suggest that blockchain-based enforcement offers a transparent, automated, and institutionalized contractual framework that replaces physical force and social intimidation with systemic compliance. Rather than sidelining the state, this model strengthens state involvement through regulatory oversight and institutional validation, fostering a more legitimate, proportionate, and rule-of-law-oriented approach to obligation enforcement.
