The case of the illegal spare parts by the Customs and Excise officers on the Airbus A330-900 Neo aircraft with the flight number GA 9721 on Sunday November, 17, 2019 is one more abuse of power among so many similar cases done by state officers.

Summary
Penyalahgunaan wewenang dalam konsep hukum administrasi negara, selalu diparalelkan dengan konsep detournament de pouvoir dalam sistem hukum Prancis atau abuse of power/misuse of power dalam istilah bahasa Inggris.[12]. Dkk, Hukum Admnistrasi dan Good Governace, (Jakarta: Penerbit Universitas Trisakti, Cetakan Kedua, 2012), 21-22 13 Yulius, Perkembangan Pemikiran dan Pengaturan Penyalahgunaan Wewenang di Indonesia (Tinjauan Singkat Dari Perspektif Hukum Administrasi Negara Pasca Berlakunya Undang-Undang Nomor 30 Tahun 2014), Artikel dalam Jurnal Hukum dan Peradilan, Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Hukum dan Peradilan Mahkamah Agung RI, Volume 04 Nomor 3 November 2015. Asas spesialitas ini dahulu pernah diterapkan dalam hukum positif Indonesia, yaitu dalam Pasal 53 ayat (2) huruf b UU Nomor 5 Tahun 1986 tentang Peradilan Administrasi, berkenaan dengan alasan-alasan untuk mengajukan gugatan ke Peradilan Administrasi. Perluasan makna penyalahgunaan wewenang dalam Undang-Undang Administrasi Pemerintahan dan perdebatan yang menyertainya tidak boleh menghalangi keberlakuan norma penyalahgunaan wewenang dalam undang-undang dimaksud, karena sebagai undangundang yang dibentuk oleh lembaga yang berwenang yaitu legislatif, maka sesuai dengan asas legalitas undang-undang tersebut mengikat secara umum dan harus dilaksanakan serta tidak dapat disimpangi sebelum dicabut atau dibatalkan oleh lembaga negara yang berwenang.[25].
