Corruption, Sentencing, And Recovery of State Losses.Abstract
Indonesia is a country blessed with abundant natural resources and a strategically advantageous geographic position. Nevertheless, Indonesia still faces various challenges as a developing country. One of the main obstacles lies in the weakness of its governance system and the high level of corruption, particularly in the management of state finances and natural resources.
This study aims to assess the extent to which the effectiveness of sentencing in corruption cases contributes to the recovery of state finances. The research uses a normative juridical and empirical approach by analyzing the application of prevailing regulations in court rulings, especially those related to corruption offenses under Article 2 paragraph (1) and Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999.
The findings show that the sentencing approach applied has not been optimal in recovering state losses. As of 2022, the amount of restitution successfully deposited into the state treasury was only about 2.48% of the total losses. This low achievement indicates that law enforcement remains more focused on imprisoning perpetrators than on efforts to recover state losses.
Therefore, a legal strategy that is more oriented toward comprehensive recovery of state losses is needed as part of a sustainable anti-corruption policy.
