The Effectiveness of Reverse Evidence for Money Laundering Criminal Acts in Criminal Justice Processes in Indonesia
Abstract
The main reason for the implementation of the reverse burden of proof is because money laundering is generally carried out in a complex manner and involves organized crime networks. This complexity is exacerbated by advances in information technology in the financial and banking sectors, which make the process of tracking and proving increasingly difficult. The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze the effectiveness of the reverse burden of proof for money laundering crimes in the criminal justice process in Indonesia, to examine and analyze the ideal concept of the reverse burden of proof for money laundering crimes in the criminal justice process in the future. The type of research used in this study is normative juridical. Money laundering crimes are extraordinary crimes that require extraordinary countermeasures, including through the reverse burden of proof in Law No. 8 of 2010, but its effectiveness in Indonesia is still hampered by substantive weaknesses, unpreparedness of the authorities, minimal means of asset tracking, a low culture of compliance, and weak international cooperation. For the future, the ideal concept of reversed proof needs to be strengthened by clarifying legal standards, expanding the mechanism for confiscating assets, both based on judgments and without judgments (civil forfeiture), building an integrated digital financial oversight system, increasing the capacity of officials in financial forensics and cross-border investigations, and strengthening coordination between institutions such as the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Bank Indonesia (BI), the Directorate General of Taxes, and law enforcement officials, as is the effective practice in the UK, the US, and Singapore, so that reversed proof can become a strategic instrument to impoverish perpetrators and strengthen the integrity of the national financial system.
