CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY OF STATE APPARATUS IN THE ABUSE OF AUTHORITY TO BLOCK ONLINE GAMBLING SITES IN INDONESIA

Muhammad Ridwan Lubis, Muhammad Ansori Lubis, Cut nurita, Rini Novita

Abstract


Online gambling in Indonesia has developed into a digital crime that not only involves players, admins, promoters, or site managers, but can also involve state officials who have access to site blocking authority. Abuse of blocking authority becomes a serious legal issue because the authority that should be used to cut off access to gambling content can instead be used to protect certain sites from continuing to operate. This study aims to analyze the criminal law regulations regarding online gambling involving state officials, examine the forms of criminal liability of state officials for misuse of the authority to block online gambling sites, and formulate a model for strengthening supervision and enforcement of criminal law in controlling the digital space. This study uses a doctrinal legal research method with a statutory approach, a case approach, and a conceptual approach. The results show that the criminal law regulations regarding online gambling are based on the National Criminal Code, the ITE Law, the Civil Servant Law, the PP PSTE, the Ministry of Communication and Information Regulation on Private Sector PSE, and the Money Laundering Law. State officials can be held criminally liable if proven to have abused their authority, had malicious intent, contributed to the continuity of gambling sites, received benefits, or been involved in disguising the flow of gambling proceeds. The ideal enforcement model is implemented through access-based supervision, digital recording, audit trails, regular site checks, perpetrator-based law enforcement, electronic evidence, and tracing the flow of funds through a follow-the-money approach.
