Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the intersection between the PPTPPU Law and the Election Law in the context of election campaign funding, compare money laundering arrangements in the PPTPPU Law and the Election Law, and recommend ideal arrangements for handling money laundering in the context of future election campaign funding. The intersection between the PPTPPU Law and the Election Law regarding the provisions prohibiting receiving money from criminal acts has raised legal issues, namely which law should be applied, since both are special laws, furthermore this will also lead to different arrangements in each law. - the law, as well as PPATK not being involved in the handling of money laundering, which has been transformed into an election crime under the regime of the Election Law. The problem continues with the unregulated prohibition of giving election campaign fund contributions originating from criminal acts in the Election Law, and this shows the inconsistency of legislators in adopting the concept of money laundering into the Election Law. The method used is the normative legal research method. The results of the study show that based on the lex specialist systematic principle, the law that is applied is the Election Law. The Election Law does not stipulate active money laundering provisions, only regulates passive money laundering, while the PPTPPU Law regulates both; in the future, it is necessary to formulate active money laundering provisions in the Election Law.

Abstract

Environmental crimes have a wide impact on the country's losses in social and economic development and threaten the sustainability of living things and the ecosystem. In addition, environmental crimes also produce follow-up crimes, namely criminal acts of money laundering (TPPU). Based on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) July 2021 Report on Money Laundering from Environmental Crimes, environmental crime is one of the crimes that is estimated to generate the most profitable income in the world, which is around USD 110 to 281 billion annually. Unfortunately, the handling of money laundering cases related to environmental crimes in Indonesia remains suboptimal, as evidenced by the disproportionate number of environmental crimes addressed by money laundering authorities in this sector. This study examines how law enforcement of forestry and environmental crimes needs to be strengthened by a follow-the-money approach. This study used descriptive and qualitative analysis methods involving secondary data from various related institutions and primary data from unstructured interviews with several investigators in the field of environment and forestry. The findings of this study indicate that law enforcement in the areas of forestry and environmental protection, particularly in the application of anti-money laundering measures, remains suboptimal. This inadequacy is largely attributed to the limited experience of investigators in handling environmental cases. Whereas, adopting a follow-the-money approach in environmental investigations could significantly enhance the effectiveness of these efforts, allowing for a more comprehensive uncovering of past illegal activities. Additionally, this approach has the potential to identify a broader network of involved parties, including the identification of beneficial owners.

Abstract

Based on anti-tipping off provisions, the object that must be kept confidential by the reporting party (inter alias, the Bank) is information related to Suspicious Transactions Report (STR). Meanwhile, things that become the object of reporting obligations for banks also include cash financial report (CTR), and international funds transfer instructions (IFTI). This paper will discuss the legal problems that arise and the paradigm that needs to be formed regarding the discrepancy between objects of reporting obligations for banks based on AML laws and objects that must be kept secret under anti-tipping off provisions. This paper was formed using normative research methods with conceptual, statutory, and comparative approaches. In this paper it is concluded that: (a) the legal problems that arise related to the issues discussed in this paper are that there are no specific provisions that expressively can be appointed if there is a disclosure of the fact related to CTR or IFTI; and (b) The paradigm that needs to be formed regarding the issues discussed in this paper is that Article 12 of the AML Law (anti-tipping off) is applied to violations of disclosing STR. Meanwhile, for the disclosure of CTR and IFTI, the provision that was applied was Article 11 of the AML Law.

Abstract

Indonesia was ranked 61 out of 164 countries (6.32 out of 10) based on the Basel AML Index in 2024. The Basel AML Index score reflects a country's vulnerability to money laundering and terrorist financing. Although not among the countries with the highest risk globally, this score indicates that Indonesia still has work to do to improve the effectiveness of its AML/CFT/CPF framework. Moreover, the newly emerging money laundering schemes, one of which involves untraceable assets like cryptocurrency, make it more difficult to carry out legal proceedings. The novelty in this study is the discovery of assets disguised in money laundering, which is expected to ease the Financial Transaction Reporting and Analysis Center (Pusat Pelaporan dan Analisis Transaksi Keuangan-PPATK) to track hard-to-trace assets. This study was conducted using a juridical-normative method. The result showed various methods in money laundering activities, namely transferring and/or investing funds obtained from illicit activities, corruption, bribery, fraud, irregularities through the banking sector, capital markets, and other means such as deposits, stocks, bonds, and various financial instruments. The various modus operandi carried out by corrupt individuals in money laundering in various sectors require more attention from PPATK.

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the urgency of reformulating ML policies before the massive use of the Digital Rupiah. By combining doctrinal research methods and reform-oriented research, this paper finds that the current APUPPT policy is not sufficiently qualified in the stages towards massive use of Digital Rupiah. Based on these brief findings, this paper also offers novelty regarding the discussion between Digital Rupiah and money laundering, the source of which is taken from Bank Indonesia's white paper, so that it is different from other papers which only discuss the CBDC/Digital Rupiah concept in general and does not directly take from other sources. Bank Indonesia's white paper.

Abstract

The issue of terrorism in Indonesia has escalated from causing problems in its home country to other countries. These new groups of terrorists are called Foreign Terrorist Fighters (FTFs). The qualitative method used in this paper to analyse the emergence of Indonesian FTFs to Syria to fight alongside the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) by using the theoretical framework of Political Economy Analysis (PEA), Market Analysis (MA), and Theory of Change. By using PEA, it could be argued that at the macro, sectoral, and micro levels, the emergence of Indonesian FTFs is inevitable. The use of MA also supports the emergence of Indonesian FTFs and how to intervene in them. Finally, this paper argued the theory of change to stop the flow of Indonesian FTFs, namely deterrence for supporters of Indonesian FTFs, communicate effectively with people influenced by terrorist doctrine, and change the culture by redefining the concept of jihad and applying it to the current Islamic education curriculum. Despite the fact that Indonesian FTFs to Syria have ceased since the defeat of ISIS, this paper argues that PEA, MA, and the Theory of Change can be used to analyse the future movement of Indonesian FTFs and to take preventative measures against it.

Abstract

The principle of lex specialis derogat legi generali frequently proves inadequate in resolving normative conflicts, particularly between Article 339(1)(c) of the General Election Law and provisions in the Money Laundering Law (UU TPPU). The present article examines the use of the doctrine of juridische/systematische specialiteit as a more effective approach to addressing such legal overlaps. The objective of this study is to ascertain which legal norms apply in instances where the acceptance of campaign contributions intersects with money laundering offences. Utilising normative legal research methodologies, bolstered by conceptual and juridical analysis, this study ascertains that the doctrine of juridische/systematische specialiteit confers enhanced legal certainty in resolving conflicts between overlapping criminal provisions. This doctrine is consistent with the principles that guide the interpretation of criminal norms and ensures a more precise application of the law. The article concludes that, in cases involving the proceeds of suspected money laundering from election campaign contributions, the provisions of the Money Laundering Act should take precedence over those in the Election Act. This approach not only supports systematic legal interpretation but also strengthens the legal framework in combating financial crimes involving political funding.

Abstract

To attract significant foreign investment and boost national economic growth, it is essential to examine the risks of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) misuse as a medium for Money Laundering (ML) in Indonesia. This study explores the potential misuse of FDI in facilitating ML, identifies the vulnerabilities, and recommends policy measures to address these risks. Using a normative legal research approach, the study found that FDI activities in Indonesia are vulnerable to misuse due to the lack of technical regulations mandating verification of shareholder authenticity and paid-up capital during company registration. Additionally, inadequate coordination between financial institutions, the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (INTRAC), and the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) exacerbates the issue. To mitigate ML risks in FDI, the study highlights the need to strengthen the anti-money laundering regime, enhance regulatory frameworks in the investment sector aligned with Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendation 24 on transparency and beneficial ownership, and promote synergy among key stakeholders.

Abstract

This study examines evolving crime patterns in the banking sector, highlighting the shift from conventional fraud to sophisticated cybercrimes such as phishing, ransomware, and data breaches. Digitalization and financial innovation have had a profound impact on criminal strategies, exposing vulnerabilities in digital systems and creating new security challenges for banks. Utilising a literature review method, the research explores the nexus between cybercrime and money laundering (TPPU) as well as terrorism financing (TPPT). In these contexts, cyberattacks frequently facilitate the execution of untraceable international transactions. The study recommends the adoption of technologies such as AI-based anomaly detection, the tightening of cybersecurity regulations, and the improvement of cyber awareness among employees and customers. Furthermore, it emphasises the enhancement of the supervisory role of Indonesia's Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) in monitoring digital financial flows and the promotion of international information sharing. Cross-sector collaboration among financial institutions, regulators, and technology providers is deemed crucial to strengthening the global financial system's defences. These measures are intended to enhance Indonesia's Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (APU PPT) framework in response to the growing risks of the digital era.

Abstract

The online gambling industry in Southeast Asia has become a strategic platform for transnational criminal syndicates to commit crimes such as money laundering, labor exploitation, and human trafficking. This study uses an interdisciplinary approach—including legal analysis, criminology, and social studies—to examine the involvement of Indonesian citizens (WNI) as the main victims in exploitation networks operating in countries such as Cambodia, Myanmar, and Malaysia. Although most of the literature and discussions reflect the broader Southeast Asian regional context, this research focuses specifically on the situation of Indonesian migrant workers. The study highlights the criminal methods employed by syndicates, regulatory weaknesses at both national and international levels, and the challenges facing effective cross-border cooperation. In addition, important aspects of increasing the capacity of law enforcement, especially in tracking digital transactions and protecting victims, are also discussed. The findings show that exploitation of Indonesian citizens occurs systematically and involves various actors across jurisdictions. Therefore, a comprehensive legal approach, stronger regional cooperation under ASEAN, and policies for the protection of migrant workers based on human rights are needed. The policy implications of this study focus on concrete steps that the Indonesian government can take to effectively respond to the complexity of this crime.
