Regulation of Illicit Enrichment and Unexplained Wealth in Indonesia: Challenges and Law Enforcement Strategies in the Context of Eradicating Corruption

Abstract

Regulations regarding illegal enrichment and unexplained wealth in Indonesia are crucial issues in eradicating corruption. This phenomenon shows that there are loopholes in the legal system that are exploited by public officials to accumulate wealth illegally without having to prove the legitimate source of the acquisition. This article aims to analyze regulations and legal implementation related to illegal self-enrichment and ownership of property whose origins cannot be explained in Indonesia. Through normative juridical research methods with a statutory regulation approach and case studies, this article explores various regulations that have been implemented, as well as the challenges and obstacles in their enforcement. The results of the study show that although there are several regulations governing this issue, their implementation still faces many obstacles, including unclear legal definitions, weak law enforcement, and resistance from public officials. This article recommends the need for revision and harmonization of stricter regulations as well as strengthening law enforcement institutions to deal with this problem effectively.
