Disruption in Corruption Eradication in Indonesia.

Abstract\nPLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARIESCorruption is a severe threat to society and the nation’s future. Consequently, in Indonesia, various regulations have been formulated and implemented as part of the anti-corruption legal framework. However, recent years have shown a weakening in anti-corruption efforts marked by the revision and non-enactment of several key regulations. The weakening trend is due to changes in the legal and political landscape surrounding corruption eradication. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze and understand the disruptions in the Indonesian anti-corruption legal framework. A legal analysis method was used which included examining existing laws, proposed legislative changes, and the impacts on anti-corruption efforts in Indonesia. The findings showed that the Indonesian anti-corruption legal system experienced significant disruptions, leading to diminished efforts in countering corruption. These disruptions originated from the accumulation of several revised regulations including the Corruption Eradication Commission Law, leniency towards corrupt offenders, minimal prison sentences, reduced fines, and delays in enacting asset forfeiture law. To address these challenges, policymakers are motivated to strengthen the substance of anti-corruption laws to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement and promote stronger corruption eradication efforts.The problem of corruption in Indonesia represents a significant concern that has garnered considerable attention. Many studies have demonstrated the prevalence and gravity of corruption in Indonesia, with estimates indicating that it is a significant contributor to the country’s economic losses and a major drain on state resources. Nevertheless, this is not the primary objective of the present study. This study project is focused on examining several regulations related to the crime of corruption. The objective of this examination is to ascertain whether the pertinent regulations offer sufficient strength to facilitate the eradication of corruption, or whether the regulations are inadequate in this regard. The findings indicate that the regulations about the eradication of corruption in Indonesia are not becoming more powerful, but rather, are becoming weakened. This is a consequence of the accumulation of changes to existing regulations, and the absence of regulations that could play a pivotal role in preventing and eradicating corruption in Indonesia.
