Eradicating public official corruption Indonesia: a revolutionary paradigm focusing on state financial losses

This research explores additional ways to eliminate corruption caused by authority abuse that hurts public finances. The present paradigm of corruption eradication in Indonesia still focuses on punishment, disregarding one of the Anti-Corruption Law's goals, state financial loss restitution. This research is normative, statutory, conceptual, and case-based. The results show that the administrative law approach to eradicating criminal acts of corruption due to government official abuse of authority focuses more on returning state losses through initial supervision by internal government agencies, such as the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus. APIP has direct prosecution and compensation powers. The Supervisory Agency (BPK) finds state financial losses, it is better to take administrative action to recover them by communicating with APIP for time efficiency in eradicating corruption and recovering state losses. Third, sanctions in the authority that results in state financial losses are contained in Article 20 Juncto 21 of Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning governance, which only provides administrative sanctions of dismissal and does not require government officials to return state financial losses.

Claims for the Rights of Third Parties in Good Faith Against Confiscation of Goods in Corruption Criminal Decisions

The judge has the authority to impose additional criminal decisions in criminal acts of corruption in the form of confiscation of goods belonging to third parties in good faith. Article 19 Paragraph (2) of the Anti-Corruption Law states that third parties who have good intentions can claim their rights (object) to the confiscation of goods in a corruption crime decision no later than 2 (two) months after the court decision is pronounced in a hearing open to the public. However, the Corruption Law does not clearly regulate how to submit and examine objections so that in practice there are differences in interpretation by the applicant, respondent and judge in submissions and examinations at trial, so that there is no guarantee of unity and certainty in the legal application of rights claims (objections) to confiscation of goods in the decision of criminal acts of corruption. The legal problem that arises is what are the regulations regarding the submission and examination of claims (objections) of third parties who have good intentions regarding the confiscation of goods in the decision of a criminal act of corruption? Regulations regarding the submission and examination of claims for the rights of third parties in good faith regarding the confiscation of goods in decisions regarding criminal acts of corruption, including the legal position of the parties, method and time of submission, authority to adjudicate, evidence, and legal remedies and implementation of the decision.

Patterns of Corporate Punishment in Corruption Crimes in the Indonesian Legal System

The issue of criminalizing corruption crimes involving corporations has become a concern because, recently, the phenomenon of corruption in several cases has involved corporations that are not easily subject to criminal sanctions. This research aims to analyze the criminal liability for corporations as perpetrators of corruption crimes in the Indonesian legal system and the pattern of punishment for corporations that commit corruption crimes. This research method applies the normative juridical method with a qualitative analysis of secondary data. The results show that law enforcement officials who determine corporations as suspects in corruption crimes and punish them but have difficulty in ensnaring corporations. One of the causes is the incomplete provisions regarding corporations as legal subjects in the anticorruption law. In addition, investigators have difficulty finding evidence and determining the identity of corporate offenders. The pattern of punishment for corporations is to apply a cumulative-alternative punishment pattern aimed at the corporation and its management. For corporations, the type of punishment imposed is fines or economic punishment aimed at recovering losses due to corruption or administrative punishment such as revocation of business licenses, while for the management, the punishment imposed is imprisonment and fines.

Phenomena of Corruption as A Social Pathology: A Review on Legal Sociology

This research examines the factual issues of eradicating and legal enforcement of corruption in Indonesia. In addition, the phenomenon of corruption as a social sickness is evaluated from the perspective of legal sociology research. Utilizing a descriptive-analytical research approach, literature studies are conducted to collect a variety of trustworthy resources and information. The study's findings indicate that the problem of eradicating and enforcing anti-corruption laws in Indonesia has become a cycle of corruption that will not end unless the state undertakes supremacy-reform initiatives in three areas: socio-cultural, legal instruments, and institutional-structural-functional. Corruption has become societal cancer that affects the development of legal culture in society. Corruption is viewed as a structural functionalism framework. Deviant conduct of officials v from a breach of the social structure's functioning.

Flexible Institution Building in the International Anti-corruption Regime: Proposing a Transnational Asset Recovery Mechanism

AbstractAsset recovery is a fundamental principle of anti-corruption law, without which the financial damage from corruption cannot be repaired. Yet recovering assets is notoriously difficult and time-consuming, and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption provides little technical or institutional support to facilitate such returns. To remedy this, we propose the creation of a transnational asset recovery mechanism that could provide myriad services to states upon request, including gathering and publishing information, providing technical assistance and capacity building, helping to conclude agreements on asset return, and monitoring returned funds. Theoretically, we introduce the concepts of customizability and selectability to explain why a flexible transnational asset recovery mechanism has advantages over more formal international institutions, such as an international anti-corruption court. These benefits include lower financial and political costs, enhanced adaptability, and a greater likelihood of enhancing interstate cooperation regarding asset returns.

Scrutinize the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC)

Corruption has been dramatically undermining human rights, and there are some legal problems in the anti-corruption law regime. This reality is not only unlawful but also naturally unfair. Therefore, using historical comparative analyses, the article aims to demonstrate two problematic issues remaining in the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), which leave the threshold for human rights abuse and the smooth way to sustainable development, namely the absence of a precise definition of corruption and the absence of sanction provisions under the UNCAC. The article indicates the human rights undermining characteristic of corruption, the UNCAC's problems in coping with systematic corruption, which significantly violates human rights, and relevant scholarly doctrines supportive of the definability of corruption, especially the human-rights-based approach. The paper finally offers the standard definition of corruption under the Human-Rights Based Approach to cover systematic corruption that is sometimes lawful under domestic laws. Furthermore, this paper offers the systematic concrete sanction to make the Convention truly enforceable worldwide. In this regard, the roles of the International Criminal Court (ICC) should be taken into account to achieve a corruption-free society and sustainable development for humanity.

The Main Directions of Improving the Effectiveness of the Fight Against Corruption in Russian State Authorities

The topic of fighting against corruption is relevant, because corruption is an extremely dangerous phenomenon for society. The Economic Security Strategy of the Russian Federation consistently proves that corruption is one of the threats to the state, since it is inextricably linked with such threats as an increase in the share of the shadow economy, increased differentiation of the population by income level, insufficient investment, low economic growth, inefficient public administration and a decrease in the quality of education and medicine. The issue of corruption in public administration was particularly acute, since corrupt affects power structures and it inevitably leads to the destabilization of the entire State system. The analysis of the level of corruption in the Russian Federation carried out in this article led to the conclusion that existing anti-corruption law enforcement practices are ineffective in our country, and the corruption of State authorities is particularly dangerous. The purpose of the research is to develop measures for anti-corruption activities in Russian state institutions based on an assessment of the level of corruption in state authorities and management. The practical significance lies in the formulation of a number of recommendations for improving anti-corruption measures implemented in the Russian Federation.

The Criminalization Of Illicit Enrichment in Combating Corruption in Indonesia

Despite Indonesia's ratification of the United Nations Convention against Corruption, 2003 (UNCAC, 2003), there are still some norms that have not been adequately accommodated by national anti-corruption laws, particularly concerning illicit enrichment. This legal study aims to examine the practical implementation of illicit enrichment as a corruption offense in Indonesia and propose the criminalization of illicit enrichment as a future corruption offense. The research methodology employed is normative juridical, which involves analyzing secondary data, with a focus on literature reviews and relevant legislation. The research findings and discussions indicate that the practice of illicit enrichment has been increasingly prevalent, as evidenced by cases involving defendants Bahasyim Assifie and Dhana Widyatmika, who were charged under different articles, namely Article 12 of the Anti-Corruption Law and Article 3 of the Anti-Money Laundering Law, which differ from the essence of illicit enrichment as outlined in UNCAC, 2003. Considering the enforcement practices, it is imperative to criminalize the act of unlawful enrichment or illicit enrichment through the revision of the Anti-Corruption Law or the Criminal Code.

This blueprint includes an analysis of existing laws and regulations, as well as potential policy changes and legislative reform. This study also includes recommendations for improved enforcement and oversight mechanisms and for improved public awareness and education. As part of this, this study considers the potential for public–private partnerships to increase transparency and accountability in public health and health-care services.

Republic of beliefs: An experimental investigation✰

The success of a country's anti-corruption policy can crucially depend on its citizens’ beliefs about the existing legal environment. We test this key idea due to Basu (2020) using a novel experiment design. Our results suggest that Basu's “Republic of Beliefs” idea provides a critical insight in policy formulation; Merely introducing an anti-corruption law need not be sufficient in pushing the country towards the desired equilibrium, especially in developing countries, where the existing legal enforcement machinery has severe scopes of leakages.

Anti-Corruption Law in Brazil: Promoting Integrity and Ethical Culture in Business Practices

With the entry into force of Law No. 12,846/2013, also known as the Anti-Corruption Law, which among its main provisions seeks to innovate the national legal system by regulating the administrative and civil liability of legal entities for acts against public administration, the importance of this legislation stands out in the pursuit of a new interpretative and punitive vision with the clear objective of reducing the occurrence of corrupt practices. However, it is acknowledged that completely eliminating such ignoble and abhorrent practices from the Brazilian reality is entirely impossible. In light of the recently enacted law, Law No. 12,846/13 now requires public and private companies to adapt to the proposed innovations. The main consequence of the "Anti-Corruption Law" is the mandatory implementation of prevention mechanisms and strategic planning by companies, in order to monitor their relationship with the Public Administration and avoid the application of severe penalties. On the other hand, the mechanisms introduced in the Anti-Corruption Law aim to control business practices and consolidate the integrity of relationships between companies, thereby fostering a new level of civic culture and ethics in the business environment, which will ultimately benefit society as a whole.

Pemanfaatan Algoritma K-Means untuk Membuktikan Implementasi Undang-Undang Pelanggaran Hukum Korupsi di Pengadilan Negeri Banjarmasin

This research aims to demonstrate the implementation of the Anti-Corruption Law in the Banjarmasin District Court by utilizing the K-Means algorithm. Corruption, which persists in Indonesia over a prolonged period, has reached a critical level, making it crucial to enforce the law fairly and firmly. In this study, the panel of judges in the Banjarmasin District Court was analyzed using the K-Means Clustering method and silhouette coefficient to decide corruption cases that result in state losses. The research findings indicate that the optimal number of clusters is 3, with a value of 0.686. However, there is also a lowest value among the 4 clusters, which is 0.454. These clusters are then divided into three categories of enforcement, namely cases that have been executed (108 cases), cases that will be executed (26 cases), and cases that have not been executed (2 cases). All clusters have a silhouette score of 0.742, indicating successful enforcement. This research provides concrete evidence that the panel of judges in the Banjarmasin District Court has implemented the Anti-Corruption Law while considering state losses. By utilizing the K-Means algorithm, this study also contributes to a better understanding of enforcement practices in the court. It is expected that the results of this research will support efforts to enhance the implementation of the Anti-Corruption Law in Indonesia, particularly in the Banjarmasin District Court

FIGHTING THE MENACE OF THE SOCIETY: PURSUING THE CORRUPTS

In 2021, Transparency International ranked Malaysia 62 out of 180 countries in the world, and the perceived level of corruption in the public sector was recorded at 63.30% as compared to 17.06% in the private sector. Historically, the effort to prevent corruption in Malaysia began in 1950 with the introduction of the Prevention of Corruption Ordinance (POCO) 1950 to replace the previous laws of the Federated Malays States (Enactment No. 23 of 1938), the State of Johore (Johore Enactment No. 14 of 1940) and the former Straits Settlements (Straits Settlements Ordinance No. 14 of 1937). Applying doctrinal research and adopting a historical and descriptive approach, the paper seeks to describe the history of the anti-corruption law and agencies created before and after independence focusing on the agencies’ organisational and structural development. There is also a brief discussion on the late Tan Sri Harun Mahmud Hashim who helmed the anti-corruption agency. Since independence, the government had tirelessly carried out efforts to combat corruption with the formation of the Criminal Investigation Department (Special Crime) and the Anti-Corruption Section (ACS) and then consolidated into one body called the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) with the passing of the Anti-Corruption Agency Act 1982. In 2008, the government unanimously approved the establishment of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) by replacing the ACA Act 1997 with the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, which came into effect on 1 January 2009. The MACC became an independent, transparent, and professional body to effectively and efficiently manage the nation’s anti-corruption initiatives

Compliance and Anti-Corruption Mechanisms in Industries in the South Region of Brazil

The objective of this study was to identify the adherence of industrial companies to the criteria of the integrity program established in the anti-corruption law and the implementation of internal controls. Therefore, descriptive research was carried out, based on the application of a questionnaire, reaching a sample of 74 industries, 30% of which have been in operation for more than 41 years and 68% have family and/or mixed management. The results showed that the companies included in the sample have greater adherence to some criteria of the integrity program established by law, however, there are still opportunities for improvement in their control systems. When observing whether companies have a code of ethics, conduct and integrity, 51% have this document, 64% indicated that training on the subject takes place in the corporate environment and regarding the existence of an ethics committee or compliance and a whistleblower channel, the percentage of adherence can be considered relatively low, being 22% and 24%. When addressing the adoption of procedures and internal controls to avoid the occurrence of conflicts of interest and fraud, 50% of the companies have these procedures and 15% did not know how to respond. It was observed that Law 12.846/2013 is still little known, there is an awareness of its importance to reduce the risk of corruption, conflict of interest and increase the degree of transparency of actions, but at the same time, many entities do not yet have policies and procedures in place.

ВПЛИВ ПРИНЦИПІВ ДОБРОГО ВРЯДУВАННЯ НА ЗМЕНШЕННЯ КОРУПЦІОГЕННИХ ФАКТОРІВ В ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ОРГАНІВ ПУБЛІЧНОЇ АДМІНІСТРАЦІЇ

The article, on the basis of the analysis of normative legal acts and scientific and legal literature, clarifies the role of the principles of good governance in reducing corruption-inducing factors in the activities of public administration bodies. The most common corruptionogenic factors, such as: discretion; legal uncertainty; conflict of interests; the possibility of receiving an offer, promise or receiving an improper benefit; use of legal constructions of an evaluative nature. The content of these corruption-inducing factors is considered in detail. A number of legal and normative acts were analyzed, including both draft and current acts regarding the presence of corruption-inducing factors in them. Some of them were considered, in particular, those where corruptionogenic factors were identified and the role of good governance principles for their reduction was determined. It was found that in some legal and normative acts, such principles of good governance as legal certainty, transparency, delegation, accountability, responsibility, justice, consensus orientation are leveled or violated. In order to properly comply with the specified principles of good governance, proposals were submitted to improve the provisions of a number of regulatory acts. It is argued and emphasized that in order to simplify the identification of corruption-inducing factors in the activities of public administration bodies, it is necessary to enshrine the most frequently encountered corruption-inducing factors in the anti-corruption law of Ukraine. The comprehensive observance of all principles of good governance in the practical activities of public administration bodies will contribute to the reduction of corruption-inducing factors in particular and the prevention of corruption in general. Key words: corruption-inducing factors, principles of good governance, regulatory act, public administration.

ПОРІВНЯЛЬНИЙ АНАЛІЗ МЕХАНІЗМІВ ПРОТИДІЇ КОРУПЦІЇ В УКРАЇНІ ТА КРАЇНАХ ЄВРОПИ

This article is devoted to the study of the experience of other countries of the world, in particular European countries, in anti-corruption methods and the possibility of their application in Ukraine. The concept of corruption is international, there is not a single country that does not face this phenomenon and does not try to counteract it. The article provides a comparative analysis of anti-corruption activities in countries such as Poland, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and Ukraine. It is found that the positive experience of European countries in the activity against corruption is a confirmation that when solving the relevant problem, it is necessary to use a comprehensive approach and a principled administrative and legal position. It is established that European countries have developed and adopted special anti-corruption laws, as well as created certain effective organizations, some of which work not only at the local government level, but at the international level. In Ukraine, as well as in other countries, special laws have been created that are aimed at anti-corruption. It is stated that European countries have developed and approved special laws aiming at anti-corruption activity, as well as created particularly effective organizations which work not only at the local level, but also at the international one. The country is actively creating an anti-corruption strategy to prevent corruption activity. It is analyzed that Ukraine needs to speed up the process of euro integration which will help to come closer to entering the international anti-corruption bodies. International anti-corruption experience will allow Ukraine to achieve transparency in corruption and pave the way to its decrease. It is emphasized that hard work on preventive measures against corruption is effective in European countries that is extremely necessary for implementation in Ukraine to prevent corrupt offenses. Fruitful work on anti-corruption measures will lead to a decrease in corrupt practices in any field. Key words: corruption, anti-corruption activity, strategy, Ukraine, European countries, international experience.
