Construction Of Payment Of Money In Substitute As An Additional Criminal Penalty To The Criminal Acts Of Corruption In The Conception Of Legal Certainty
Abstract
The application of additional penalties in the form of replacement money in Indonesia is still weak in terms of consistency, evidence, and execution. The lack of synchronization between levels of justice and limited regulations that only target the main perpetrator without reaching other parties who benefit from the proceeds of crime have resulted in suboptimal efforts to recover state assets. Therefore, legal reform and reconstruction are needed regarding the concept of replacement money payments to be more firm, comprehensive, and equitable. Consistent and effective application not only serves as a means of recovering state losses, but also strengthens the deterrent effect, increases public trust, and ensures legal certainty in eradicating corruption in the future. The objectives of this study are to (1) determine and analyze the legal application of replacement money payments as additional penalties for corruption crimes in Indonesia today; (2) construct replacement money payments as additional penalties for corruption crimes within the concept of legal certainty. The method used in this study is normative juridical with a conceptual approach, statute approach, and comparative approach. Data sources use primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. The results of this study are (1) Payment of replacement money as an additional penalty in corruption crimes, as regulated in Article 18 of the Corruption Eradication Law and Supreme Court Regulation Number 5 of 2014, in practice has not been implemented optimally and has not provided legal certainty because the objective of recovering state financial losses is ineffective and is increasingly blurred because it has shifted to the objective of imprisonment; There is a disparity in Corruption Court decisions regarding the application and amount of replacement money; and Ineffective enforcement of criminal law. (2) Formulate the construction of replacement money payments as an additional penalty for corruption crimes in the concept of legal certainty. Namely by placing replacement money payments as the main penalty through the update of Article 65 of the 2023 Criminal Code and the addition of the phrase "and replacement money payments" in Articles 2 and 3; the addition of regulations in Article 3A regarding the mechanism for implementing replacement money crimes; and the elimination of Article 18 paragraph (1) letter b of the Corruption Eradication Law will be able to strengthen legal certainty, avoid multiple interpretations, and emphasize that recovery of state financial losses is the main objective in enforcing corruption laws.
