Abstract

Money laundering is a kind of crime which can harm the foundations of the life of society, nation, and state. Generally, in many cases of money laundering, corruption still ranked at the top as the origin of such criminal act. This research aims to determine the authority of KPK prosecutors to prosecute money laundering crime resulted from corruption and its legal consequences. This research concluded that the prosecution of money laundering crime resulted from corruption by KPK prosecutor is not appropriate as the Indonesian Act Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Combating Money Laundering Crimes and Indonesian Act Number 30 of 2002 on the Corruption Eradication Commission does not give any authority to the Commission to prosecute money laundering crime but merely as an investigator. Hence, the prosecution of money laundering crime resulted from corruption by KPK prosecutor could be classified null and void.
