Legal Review of the Role of Prosecutors in the Implementation of Judges' Decisions in the Form of Confiscation of Assets in Money Laundering Cases

Abstract

The Money Laundering Crime Act has regulated sanctions against perpetrators of money laundering crimes, but this does not necessarily reduce the level of money laundering crimes. Because the sanctions given to perpetrators are usually prison sentences, it turns out that they are not effective enough in combating money laundering crimes. Realizing this, law enforcement officers then began to apply other methods, namely asset recovery. In general, the role of the Prosecutor's Office is as an institution that manages confiscated assets. That is why the Prosecutor's Office formed a work unit, which specifically handles asset recovery. This unit is the Asset Recovery Center (PPA). The aim of this research is to find out and analyze (1) the development of the concept of law enforcement for money laundering crimes in Indonesia, (2) the role of prosecutors in implementing court decisions in the form of confiscation of assets for money laundering crimes, (3) the legal problems of prosecutors' efforts to implement court decisions in the form of confiscation of assets for money laundering crimes. The approach method used in this study is normative juridical. The specifications of this study are descriptive analytical. The data source used is secondary data. Secondary data is data obtained from library research consisting of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials.
