Law Number 8 of 2010 on the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering (AML Law) serves as the cornerstone of anti-money laundering enforcement in Indonesia today, but it still falls short in accommodating the needs of money laundering law enforcement. Explanation of Article 74 of the AML Law limits the role of criminal investigators solely to the National Narcotics Agency (BNN), the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Police, the Prosecutor's Office, Customs, and Tax Authorities. This explanation of Article 74 contradicts the AML Law. This situation leaves the Environmental and Forestry Crime Investigators (PPNS Kehutanan) without the authority to investigate money laundering cases in the forestry sector and hampers efforts to combat money laundering. Ultimately, Constitutional Court Decision No. 15/PUU-XIX/2021 breathed new life into money laundering investigations by broadening the definition of investigators and granting authority to PPNS Kehutanan to handle money laundering cases. Based on this research, the author concludes that following Constitutional Court Decision No. 15/PUU-XIX/2021, PPNS in the forestry sector has the authority to investigate cases of money laundering. The authority held by PPNS Kehutanan in conducting money laundering investigations includes the power to delay transactions, the power to request information about wealth from the reporter, the power to seize assets, and the power to block assets. In West Sumatra, the investigation of money laundering in the forestry sector is assigned to PPNS of the Provincial Forestry Service and PPNS of the Directorate General of Law Enforcement and Forest Protection (Gakkum LHK). These two institutions coordinate to handle all forestry crimes, including money laundering. Furthermore, coordination is also carried out with the National Police (POLRI) and the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) in resolving money laundering cases.

The very rapid development of technology has an impact on all sectors of human life. The development of this technology was utilized by the Indonesian National Police by creating an electronic ticketing system called electronic traffic law enforcement, abbreviated as ETLE. The implementation of ETLE aims to reduce the number of traffic violations, eliminate the phenomenon of illegal collection during enforcement and simplify the ticket enforcement process. The number of traffic violations in the city of Padang has increased significantly after the implementation of ETLE. In implementing ETLE, the Polresta Padang encountered several obstacles, such as a lack of public knowledge and a lack of public awareness regarding the renewal of the ticketing system through ETLE. This research uses empirical juridical research methods with descriptive research characteristics. The required data comes from primary data and secondary data taken from a study of documents and interviews at the Padang City Police Department. This ETLE ticketing system has been implemented in the city of Padang starting from March 24 2021 until now. The research results show that the implementation of the electronic traffic law enforcement ticketing system has not been fully implemented optimally. The implementation of ETLE is not yet optimal due to several obstacles such as the public's lack of knowledge of traffic regulations and the ETLE system, lack of facilities and infrastructure, social and cultural factors that are developing in the community and weaknesses in the system for identifying violating vehicles. This is still a fundamental factor causing the increase in traffic violations in the jurisdiction of the Polresta Padang.

Based on data from Indonesia Corruption Watch, in the last 4 years corruption cases related to state’s financial losses are the most committed and increase significantly, oftentimes have disparities in punishment. To overcome this, PERMA No. 1 of 2020 concerning Article 2 and Article 3 of the Corruption Eradication Law was issued. The interesting thing is even though there is a guideline for sentencing related offenses, there are still court decisions that are not in accordance with the provisions of PERMA. One of them is Decision No. 33/Pid.Sus/TPK/2020/PN.Pdg. The issues that are tried to be discussed are: 1) How is the application of PERMA No. 1 of 2020 in Decision No. 33/Pid.Sus/TPK/2020/PN.Pdg; and 2) What is the basis for the judge's consideration in sentencing the defendant in Decision No. 33/Pid.Sus/TPK/2020/PN.Pdg. This research uses normative juridical methods through case approach and statue approach. The results show that: 1) The application of PERMA No. 1 of 2020 in Decision No. 33/Pid.Sus/TPK/2020/PN.Pdg, has not been perfectly applied by the panel of judges. In sentencing, the judge is less thorough so that the crime imposed on the defendant is lower than the level of guilt; and 2) The basis for the judge's consideration in sentencing the defendant in Decision No. 33/Pid.Sus/TPK/2020/PN.Pdg, considers the role of the defendant who, although as the driving force or mastermind of this crime, the defendant will not be able to carry it out if there is no cooperation with the authorized person. Therefore, the panel of judges imposed a lower sentence than the Prosecutor’s demand.

There are online gambling cases where the Public Prosecutor tends to charge with alternative charges using Article 303 of the Criminal Code while the court facts and evidence explain clearly about online gambling. It is interesting to study the implementation of charges by the Public Prosecutor against perpetrators of online gambling crimes in Padang City and the reasons why the Public Prosecutor charges online gambling cases with Article 303 of the Criminal Code, whereas Article 27 paragraph 2 of the ITE Law also specifically regulates online gambling. This paper uses empirical juridical research methods, where the data used is primary data and secondary data through literature study. The application of charges in online gambling cases by the Public Prosecutor needs to pay attention to several things, the most important of which is to complete the elements relating to Article 27 paragraph 2 of Law No. 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning ITE. In many online gambling cases that go to the Padang District Prosecutor's Office, there are deficiencies in evidence to complete the elements in the ITE so that the gambling articles in the Criminal Code are used

Technological developments have a positive role in handling and preventing crime in Indonesia, one of which is CCTV. This role is most relevant if it is related to criminal acts or theft crimes that occur in society. This article discusses the role of technology, especially CCTV, in disclosing criminal acts of theft. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory approach and a legal concept approach in the form of law enforcement theory. CCTV has proven to be a very effective tool in uncovering crimes by recording incidents accurately and objectively, providing strong evidence at every stage of law enforcement, and even preventing criminal acts by making perpetrators feel watched. Legally, CCTV can be used as evidence or at least as an indication of the theft that occurred so that it is easier to find the perpetrator

Environmental problems are becoming increasingly serious over time. The Covid-19 pandemic that hit Indonesia did not reduce the impact of environmental pollution but instead gave rise to a new problem, namely medical B3 waste. Of course, B3 medical waste produced by hospitals must be clear regarding its management, sanctions and implementation of law enforcement. Because the impacts can affect the environment and public health. The research method used is normative legal research (normative juridical) using a statutory approach (Status Approach) and a Conceptual Approach (Conceptual Approach). Corporate/hospital criminal liability for violations of B3 waste management is regulated in Article 116 Jo 118 of the PPLH Law. Article 116 paragraph (1) letter a of the PPLH Law states that business entities can be prosecuted criminally, but in Article 118, in the case of charges against business entities, the representative management is the functional actor. Apart from the main criminal penalties, business entities may be subject to additional criminal/disciplinary regulations based on Article 119 of the PPLH Law. Based on research, there are weaknesses in the PPLH Law regarding corporate responsibility, namely first, corporate responsibility does not guarantee legal certainty. Second, there is no distinction between basic criminal sanctions for human and corporate legal subjects

Sextortion as part of Cyber Gender-Based Violence (KBGS) is a cybercrime that often occurs today. Sextortion is carried out by extorting or exploiting the victim materially or sexually by utilizing the victim's pornographic content. Prior to the promulgation of Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Crimes of Sexual Violence (TPKS Law) on May 9 2022, the crime of sextortion was regulated separately and spread across several laws and regulations, where these regulations still had juridical weaknesses which led to overcoming sextortion crimes in Indonesia are not sufficient. This study discusses the form of sextortion arrangements in Indonesian criminal law. This research uses normative research methods with statutory and case approaches, with secondary data sources. The results of this study concluded that the forms of regulation of sextortion in Indonesian criminal law consist of criminal acts of decency, criminal acts of extortion, criminal acts of threats, criminal acts against the independence of others, criminal acts of pornography, and criminal acts of electronic-based sexual violence (KSBE). The existence of the TPKS Law has regulated formulations of sextortion crimes that are better and more comprehensive than formulations in the Criminal Code, the Pornography Law, and the ITE Law. The implementation of the TPKS Law is expected to be able to realize the prevention of sextortion crimes that reflect the values of justice and legal certainty.
