Abstract


This study aims to determine and analyze the existence of advocate immunity rights in carrying out their duties and to determine and analyze legal protection for advocates in criminal acts of obstruction of justice and its relationship to advocate immunity rights. This study uses a normative legal approach. Based on the study, it was concluded that there was a Constitutional Court Decision Number 26/PUU-IX/2013 concerning Article 16 of Law No. 18 of 2003 concerning Advocates, namely "Advocates cannot be sued either civilly or criminally in carrying out their professional duties in good faith for the interests of defending clients inside or outside the trial". This cannot be used to provide protection for an Advocate who is carrying out his Professional Duties. Due to the decision of the Central Jakarta District Court Number 84/Pid.sus-TPK/2023/PN.JKT.PST jo. Jakarta High Court Decision NUMBER 12/PID.SUS-TPK/2024/PT.DKI imposed a sanction on Advocate Stefanus Roy Rening with a prison sentence of 4 (four) years 6 (six) months and a fine of IDR150,000,000.00 (one hundred and fifty million rupiah) with the provision that if the fine is not paid, it will be replaced with a prison sentence of 3 (three) months, for actions as regulated in Article 21 of Law No. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption. The actions taken by Advocate Stefanus Roy Rening, namely influencing witnesses not to return money related to corruption cases to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), are included in the Criminal Act of Obstruction of Justice (obstructing the Investigation) as regulated in Article 21 of Law No. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption.
