Keywords:
Execution of Compensation; Corruption Crimes; Legal PerspectiveAbstract
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the enforcement of compensatory money in corruption crimes in Indonesia, focusing on the legal perspective and implementation in the field. Compensatory money, as part of the additional sanctions under the criminal law on corruption, aims to compensate state losses resulting from corruption and provide a deterrent effect for perpetrators. This study examines how the mechanism for compensatory money enforcement is regulated in Law Number 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption, as well as the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies, particularly the Prosecutor's Office, in implementing this enforcement. The research method used is a normative-empirical approach, which includes a literature review of applicable laws and regulations and interviews with relevant parties such as prosecutors, judges, and legal practitioners. The results indicate that despite clear provisions regarding the enforcement of compensatory money, its implementation is often hampered by technical obstacles, such as difficulties in asset tracking and a lack of cooperation between law enforcement agencies. Furthermore, differences remain in the interpretation and implementation of compensatory money enforcement across regions. This study recommends the need to refine regulations regarding the execution of substitute money, as well as improve coordination between law enforcement agencies to ensure more effective implementation. Therefore, this research is expected to contribute to strengthening legal mechanisms for eradicating corruption in Indonesia and positively impact the quality of fair and transparent justice.
