Notary Liability in the Practice of the Principle of Recognizing Service Users: An Analysis of the Supreme Court Decision No. 250/Pid. B/2022

Abstract

The Financial Transaction Reporting and Analysis Center (PPATK) holds one important principle, namely the principle of recognizing service users (PMPJ). The principle of goods and services providers is presented to find out the profile and transactions of service users in carrying out their obligations. This principle also emphasizes the importance of recognizing, knowing and understanding service users. However, in practice, not all notaries carry out this principle properly, as the West Jakarta District Court decision Number 250/Pid.B/2022 is a reflection of a case of violation of the Principle of Determining Service Users by a Notary, who is then involved in a criminal case. This type of research is normative juridical with historical, conceptual and legislative approaches. The results of this study still found many violations by notaries who ignore the principle of recognizing service users or Know Your Customer, either due to negligence, economic pressure, or lack of understanding of regulations. As a result, notaries can be held civilly, criminally, administratively, and ethically liable
