A New Paradigm in the Application of Criminal Sanctions Against Corruption (Legal and Political Studies to Find Effective Criminal Sanctions for Corruption Eradication in Indonesia, Especially about the Application of Death Penalty)

Purpose: Corruption remains pervasive in Indonesia, damaging the nation's finances and economy while infringing on the economic and social rights of the community. This study aims to explore efficient criminal sanctions to eradicate corruption in Indonesia, particularly focusing on the application of the death penalty. Theoretical Framework: This study employs normative legal research and secondary information based on literature to analyze the application of criminal sanctions for acts of corruption. Method: The research utilizes a data analysis technique involving problem identification, data gathering, data reduction, conclusion formulation, and verification. Result and Discussion: The study concludes that emphasizing the law's provisions is crucial for applying the death penalty to corruption cases. This has led to the Constitutional Court amending Articles 603 and 604 of the Criminal Code to include the threat of the death penalty. However, there is a debate among law enforcement officials regarding the violation of human rights (HAM) that could occur with the implementation of the death penalty. Therefore, revisions to the Criminal Code's articles are proposed to facilitate the death penalty's implementation, considering the quality and quantity of corrupt individuals. Conclusion: The anticipated outcome is that authorities will use the death penalty as a symbol of their commitment to combatting worsening corruption annually in Indonesia.

Cultural Constraints in the Eradication of Corruption in Indonesia

Corruption is the enemy of mankind around the world. The eradication of corruption in Indonesia today is increasing if you look at the quantity. However, the massive efforts to eradicate corruption in Indonesia seem to have not been successful because corruption continues to occur. The problem can be formulated in this article, namely: Is culture an obstacle to efforts to eradicate corruption in Indonesia. Using a normative juridical research approach, it was found that one of the obstacles to the eradication of corruption is a cultural obstacle where corruption actors who are political figures and community leaders are often regarded as good people who must be defended. The main problem is that the culture that was originally considered noble by the community is misused in practice as a means of facilitating corruption.

The Role of the Supervisory Board of the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission as the Watcher of the Watchers: Encouraging or Inhibiting the KPK's Work?

This research examines the role and complex relationship between the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and its Supervisory Board, with a focus on the Supervisory Board's function as a supervisor of accountability and integrity. The KPK Supervisory Board, which is known for its vigorous anti-corruption initiatives, has institutional control over the organization. This study examines how this supervision impacts the effectiveness of the Corruption Eradication Committee and considers whether the Supervisory Board supports efforts to eradicate corruption or is actually an obstacle to efforts to eradicate corruption. The history of the development of the KPK, the formation and duties of the Supervisory Board, as well as the legislative structure that regulates its affairs, are all included in the examination. In addition, this research also evaluates specific cases where the Supervisory Board's actions influenced the direction of KPK investigations and activities. This research takes a balanced approach, respecting the value of accountability systems but also considering any weaknesses resulting from overly burdensome supervision. The role of the Supervisory Board in preventing abuse of power, harmony between autonomy and accountability, and the impact of the Supervisory Board's decisions on the effectiveness and morale of the Corruption Eradication Commission are some of the main themes raised. Through critical analysis of these elements, this research adds a deeper understanding of the complex interactions between the Corruption Eradication Commission and its Supervisory Board and sheds light on the broader discussion in Indonesia regarding institutional checks and balances and anti-corruption initiatives.

Perbandingan hukum perampasan aset hasil tindak pidana korupsi di Indonesia, Singapura Dan Hongkong

Corruption in law is a chronic issue with corrosive effects. In Indonesia, there institutions involved in handling criminal acts of corruption; the prosecutor`s Office, the Police, and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). However, corruption cases in Indonesia continue to increase and fluctuate in their eradication efforts. The KPK is the main institution tasked with combating corruption in Indonesia, but it is perceived as not yet maximizing the seizure of assets resulting from corrupt activities. Singapore has a reputation for being stringent in combating corruption, boasting a powerful anti-corruption institution known as the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB), which holds authority to investigate and prosecute corruption cases without political intervention. Hong Kong has an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) that has significantly succeeded in eradicating corruption. A comparative study of laws regarding the confiscation of assets resulting from acts of corruption in Indonesia, Singapore, and Hong Kong is needed to identify similarities, differences, and to analyze the similarities and differences in asset seizure resulting from corruption between the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission and the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau Singapore, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption Hong Kong

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.

Public Effort and Participation in the Enforcement of Corruption Eradication in Indonesia

Corruption remains a pressing issue with far-reaching adverse effects on numerous aspects of human existence globally. Combating corruption is a crucial priority in Indonesia that requires concerted efforts. This study employs a normative legal research methodology to construct and conceptualize laws based on applicable doctrines and legal concepts. In addition, it employs a case study approach to investigate specific instances of corruption in depth. This study aims to provide an overview of the regulations regarding the eradication of corruption and to demonstrate how community involvement can contribute to enforcing anti-corruption measures. The results show that Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code in the article concerning corruption, the penalties set for corruptors are very far from what they are entitled to receive. In relation to reports of corruption cases, this study suggests that a public education strategy aiming at educating the general public directly or via social media must be conducted. This strategy intends to increase public awareness and encourage membership in the IFC (Indonesia is Free of Corruption) organization, which provides legal protection against alleged corruption offenders. In addition, regarding the punishment for corruptors, DPR RI (House of Representatives) are suggested to revise the current law that perpetrators of corruption who have amassed more than Rp 100,000,000 will face court-determined punishments, such as the return of illicit gains or the maximum penalty of the death penalty.

The Dark Triad and Non-Normative Collective Action in the Save KPK Movement in Indonesia: The Mediation Effect of Contempt

This study aimed to examine the role of group-based contempt and the Dark Triad of personality traits (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) in the intention to participate in non-normative collective action in the Save KPK (Save the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission) movement. The data was collected via the distribution of an online questionnaire and on-campus recruitment of university students. A total of 409 students were involved as the participants through a purposive sampling strategy. The multiple regression tests found that only the variables group-based contempt and psychopathy significantly could predict non-normative collective action, albeit partially; the other Dark Triad variables (Machiavellianism and narcissism), in this case, were found to be insignificant. A path analysis model showed that Machiavellianism and psychopathy could significantly predict non-normative collective action under the mediation of group-based contempt. Narcissism was found to have no significance. This study results, by considering the Dark Triad and emotional factors, help people understand why and how individuals or groups of students commit violence.

REVERSE EVIDENCE IN CORRUPTION ERADICATION PRACTICE

This study aims to determine; 1) law of the evidentiary machine withinside the Criminal Procedure Code and the evidentiary machine withinside the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Law, and 2) synchronization of the reverse evidentiary system regulations in the trial of corruption with human rights of the accused at the trial. This study is a normative legal research with descriptive analysis method. This research shows the results, including: 1) There is a limitation in the system of reversing the burden of proof in Law no. 20 of 2001 regarding Amendments to Law No. 31 of 1999 regarding the Eradication of Corruption Crimes, namely the criminal act of gratification related to bribery in accordance with what is contained in Article 12 B paragraph (1) letter a. The reversal was carried out on the property of the defendant who was allegedly related to the case against which he was charged (Article 37A) and the property of the defendant who was not charged with alleged corruption (Article 38B). 2) In Articles 37A and 38B regarding reversing the weight of evidence at the defendant's property, it's far deemed essential to offer operational commands in addition to unique procedural regulation as an attempt to keep away from ambiguity from regulation enforcement in imposing this system. Afterwards, concerning the reversal of the weight of evidence on items which have now no longer been indicted (Article 3B), the regulation wishes to offer limits and motives concerning the purpose of products which have now no longer been indicted. This makes it necessary to understand what is meant by property in the context found in the trial. However, there has been no indictment allegedly originating from the criminal act of corruption, so it has not yet been delegated to the Public Prosecutor.

Youth and Creativity of the Anti-Corruption Movement

Corruption is a recurring problem in Indonesia. Weak supervision and the lack of efforts to prevent corruption are the reasons why the eradication of corruption in Indonesia is still not successful. Look at the current conditions. Indonesia as a country with the fourth largest population in the world has the potential for both natural resources and human resources. In order to maximize this potential, the leakage of resources through corrupt practices must be suppressed so that these resources can be utilized as much as possible for the benefit of the general public. The size of Indonesia's young generation also needs to be our common concern in efforts to prevent and eradicate corruption. As a candidate for the nation's next generation, anti-corruption values must be instilled in the younger generation in Indonesia. It is intended that in the future Indonesia will become a country free from corruption through the role of the next generation of the nation actively both from within and outside the implementation of government in Indonesia. In addition, prevention efforts for the younger generation in Indonesia so that they are not entangled in corruption are also needed in achieving the goal of eradicating corruption as a whole in the context of creating shared prosperity in Indonesia.

Community Legal Culture and Eradication of Corruption in Indonesia

Corruption is a major problem faced by all nations in the world, including the Indonesian nation. The problem of corruption is very influential on not achieving the goals of the Indonesian nation, namely the welfare of all Indonesian people. State finances should be used for the welfare of the Indonesian people, because the actions of corruptors who use state money are only for their personal or group interests, so that the goals of the state cannot be achieved, and will only cause misery for the people of Indonesia. Eradication of criminal acts of corruption in Indonesia cannot only be carried out by state institutions, but it is necessary to have efforts to eradicate corruption from all Indonesian people, by building a legal culture of eradicating corruption.

Penta Helix Collaboration dalam Pemberantasan Korupsi untuk Mewujudkan Good Governance di Indonesia

Eradication of corruption in Indonesia has been pursued through various efforts, but the phenomenon of corruption is still very worrying. One of the efforts is through cooperation between stakeholders so that the eradication of corruption can be carried out more comprehensively from various aspects of life. This study aims to analyze the role and cooperation of stakeholders in eradicating corruption to realize good governance in Indonesia. Secondary data sources are used in this study, in the form of the latest online news, the results of previous research published in reputable journals as well as reports from both government and private entities. The data were analyzed using domain analysis techniques, to get a general picture of the object under study that came from social issues. Based on the Penta Helix approach, it can be seen that stakeholders who play a role in eradicating corruption in Indonesia consist of the Government, Community, Private, Academic, and Mass Media. Although all stakeholders have played a role, this role has not been as expected. Likewise, collaboration between stakeholders has not been carried out optimally. Therefore, a more comprehensive study is needed to increase the role and collaboration among the stakeholders involved.

The limits of civil society activism in Indonesia: the case of the weakening of the KPK

ABSTRACT This paper examines the limits of Indonesian civil society activism in advancing democratic politics. This activism, mainly by middle-class reformers, has not only failed to prevent democracy from being hijacked by illiberal interests but also contributed to justifying the deepening of political illiberalism. A predominantly anti-political approach among civil society activists mainly aims to establish new institutions and policy designs to generate reforms, while allowing entrenched power relations to remain unchallenged and to pervade new institutions. Meanwhile, social protests mobilized by this kind of activism, both on the streets and social media platforms, also tend to be sporadic and have no clear leadership and structure, while protest demands are often contradictory, making these too weak to challenge anti-democratic interests. This paper challenges existing studies that extoll Indonesian civil society activists for their success in advocating certain legislation, policies, and institutions. The weakening of the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi, KPK) illustrates how even trusted democratic institutions equipped with extraordinary powers and capacities are vulnerable to vested interests. Not only have Indonesian civil society activists failed to defend the KPK, but many of them have justified attempts to paralyze this agency.

JOKOWI DI DEPAN DAN BELAKANG PANGGUNG POLITIK

Indonesia reached a turning point in its implementation of eradicating corruption after the fall of the Soeharto regime in 1998. Corruption then became a sexy issue that became the commitment of politicians and public officials. Jokowi appeared and became a favorite media. In the 2014 presidential election campaign, Jokowi carried 9 Nawa Cita promises, on the 4th point containing: "rejecting weak countries by reforming the system and law enforcement that is free of corruption, with dignity, and trustworthy". Eradication of corruption in Indonesia has not been fully effective. This shows commitment to eradicating corruption and strengthening the KPK through words like what Jokowi did, only dramaturgy to deal with communication and self-image crises. Jokowi does not want to present himself as supporting the revision of the KPK Law. Jokowi seems to be with the people, united to support the strengthening of the KPK. By collecting qualitative data related to a collection of statements by President Jokowi about strengthening the KPK in a number of mass media in the 2014-2021 period, the researcher uses the Front Stage and Back Stage theories by Erving Goffman. This study explains how Jokowi uses him as head of state and also as part of the people based on the best version of himself.

Corruption Eradication in Indonesia: The Experience of The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK)

The focus of this paper is on the discussion and analysis of corruption eradication attempts in Indonesia with the Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK ) , T he Corruption Eradication Commission) as its centre. As an activity, the commencement of the corruption eradication dates to the pre-Reformation Era. However, its presence is mainly in the form of the foundation of the anti-corruption body without playing real roles as a nominal anti-corruption institution. As a response towards pressure from the IMF, in 2002 the Corruption Eradication Commission was formed as a specialized institution to tackle chronic corruption issues strangling Indonesia in the era of Soeharto’s New Order. Unfortunately, since its inception, there has been no president who is committed to the eradication attempts and therefore sided with the KPK. It is due to the commission’s huge constitutional power (investigation, probing, tapping, arrest, and prosecution) and hence these frighten many corrupt officials. Numerous political elites have been arrested by the KPK such as ministers, governors, regents, mayors and law-enforcers top officials. Consequently, unsurprisingly the KPK faces multi-directional attacks attempting at its weakening through the arrests of its top leaders, iterating its ad-hock (can be dissolved at any time.) status, and the revision of KPK law. Therefore, the government should act firmly to provide protection and supports to the KPK against those potential threats aiming at weakening the commission, to block any legislation potentially lessening the functions of the KPK, and to make sure both KPK’s top leaderships and average personnel are impartial and free of vested interests.

Analysis of Protection of Major Witness in Corruption Eradication Cases

Corruption has become massive societal phenomenon that has been regarded as extraordinary crimes threatening Indonesian economy and impeding national development. All societal elements expect that it will not be unresolved problems. Until recently, criminal law policy in its attempt to eradicate corruption has more put emphasis on the perpetrator. Such policy on witness protection, in the criminal case of corruption, needs to be optimized because it can be an alternative legal instrument in the attempt to eradicate corruption. Law-enforcement authorities face difficulties in unfolding a corruption case because it is often well systematically planned. In many cases, witnesses are reluctant to report a corruption case because of threat, intimidation, and criminalization posed to them. Problems are (1) How is the regulation of witness protection act and the corruption eradication in Indonesia? (2) How is the urgency of witness protection in the criminal cases of corruption eradication? (3) How is criminal law policy on witness protection to facilitate the corruption eradication in Indonesia? This research employs normative juridical approach with the descriptive research type. Findings show that(1) the development of witness protection act in the corruption case is highly relate to the witness stand on the criminal justice system; (2) the urgency of witness protection in the corruption eradication process is highly related to the common occurrence of intimidation and threat toward the witnesses. It indicate that the witness and victim protection is an important and urgent legal aspect; (3) criminal law policy in the corruption eradication process put more emphasis on the perpetrators and less concern on the witnesses involved in legal investigation. It is necessary to optimize the role of LPSK in criminal law policy including in giving the protection to witness in the case of corruption eradication; therefore, it is important to conduct legal update on the witness protection act in the case of corruption eradication process. Keywords: Witness Protection, Corruption Eradication, Criminal Law Policy.

Corruption Eradication in Indonesia during the Covid-19 Pandemic: An Analysis of the Implementation of Article 27 Law Number 2 of 2020 Concerning State Financial Policy and Financial System Stability for Handling Covid-19 Pandemic

As Indonesia announced its first Covid-19 case on 2 March 2020, the government issued Acts Number 2 Year 2020. Article 27.1 and 27.2 of the Act do not provide legal certainty because they may release the state-official-corruptors from their criminal responsibility. Through this paper, the author argues the criminal-responsibility exception by elaborating the ideas of the 1945 Constitution and the Corruption Act. The author uses normative legal research to construct the paper by bringing the 1945 Constitution, Indonesian Penal Code, and Government Administration Act as contra-materials toward Acts Number 2 Year 2020. The author also uses the theories from Indonesian Law Scholars to base the author’s argument. The paper provides the construction of criminal corruption as one of the essential parts of state loss. It also explains the solution to remove the criminal-responsibility-exception by using the excellent faith principle. The paper would return the good faith principle into the implementation of Act Number 2 Year 2020. As Act Number 2 Year 2020 is considerably new on implementation, this paper provides new insight into the better implementation of corruption-handling during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Jaringan Korupsi Dinas Kehutanan Riau Pada Putusan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 22/Tipkor/2015/Pt. Bdg

Hand Arrest Operations carried out by the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to Governor of Riau Province, Annas Maamun, drew much attention. The case originated from the conversion of some parts of protected forest to become a non-forest area in Indragiri Hulu District. This research attempts to understand the involvement of various actors in the corruption case of the Governor through Forestry Service of Riau Province; and secondly, to understand corruption networks within the Forestry Service based on Supreme Court verdict No. 22/TIPIKOR/2015/PT.BDG. The findings show that the actors in the corruption case involved Annas Maamun as Governor, Zulkifli Hasan as Minister of Forestry 2019-2004, and other government institutions in the Riau Province. From corporations, Manurung and Edison Siahaan had been involved as company owners who urged the Governor to facilitate forest conversion. From a presumed independent actor’s side, Koran Riau (a newspaper) played role to minimize or “neutralize” news on such corruption case. In addition, interaction among the actors had a certain pattern, with the modus operandi of the corruption having included gratification, bribery, fraud, and abuse of power.
