Abstract

Corruption is one of the original criminal acts (Predicate Crime) in the crime of money laundering. The development of the mode of occurrence of criminal acts of corruption accompanied by money laundering requires legal thinking in the enforcement and handling of these criminal acts. As a mode to fool law enforcement officials, perpetrators of criminal acts of corruption have disguised and concealed the proceeds of crime by laundering money. As a result law enforcement that has been enforced so far only revolves around prosecutors' demands that only demand criminal acts of corruption or money laundering. Looking at the losses that have been incurred due to criminal acts of corruption and money laundering, it is necessary to have a method of merging criminal charges for corruption which is accompanied by money laundering. This research is a normative legal research using a problem approach in the form of case studies of Court Decisions and a legislative approach, namely the Corruption Crime Act and the Money Laundering Act. Sources of legal material that are processed qualitatively are primary data in the form of court decisions, secondary data in the form of laws, and tertiary data that support primary and secondary data. This research results in a legal thinking that corruption as a predicate crime from money laundering can be combined with the prosecution by the Public Prosecutor.
