Enforcement of the Death Penalty for Perpetrators of Corruption Crimes in Indonesia

Syaifudin Zuhri

Abstract


Known as an extraordinary crime, corruption requires extraordinary handling, including the application of criminal sanctions. Even though the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Law explicitly mentions the death penalty as a sanction, in reality, the punishment generally imposed focuses more on imprisonment and/or fines. The purpose of this article is to investigate and analyze the implementation of the law regarding death penalty sanctions for perpetrators of criminal acts of corruption based on the Corruption Eradication Law, as well as the obstacles faced in implementing these sanctions. This research is normative in the legal field. The data used comes from books, journals and related laws and regulations. The research results show that to optimize the application of the death penalty to perpetrators of criminal acts of corruption, it is necessary to fulfill the requirements stipulated in the law. However, challenges arise due to the existence of ambiguous clauses in the law, complicating the death penalty process. In overcoming this problem, it is recommended that the government revise existing laws to provide legal certainty to the public.
