Criminal laws regulating asset recovery of corruption today experience a paradigm oversight since it only relies on the money substitute in corruption under Article 18 of Law No. 31, 1999 concerning The Eradication of The Crime of Corruption as amended with the Law No. 20, 2001 in which asset recovery is addressed only to the convict. In fact, modus to cover up the proceed of corruption usually involves the family, close relatives or confidants including the heirs. The obstacle in recovering the asset is that civil lawsuit is not yet effective as the means to recover the asset, the organization of law enforcement, the ratification of 2003 UNCAC that is also not yet effectively implemented in Indonesian law, and the laws against corruption that are weak. Future concept of law in asset recovery of proceed of corruption by the culprit and the heirs in order to materialize a legal welfare state should at least done through progressive laws i.e. reformation of law, optimization of Mutual Legal Assistance, the widening of authority implemented by the Eradication Commission of Corruption in recovering the asset as the proceed of corruption, the strong inter-agency coordination of law enforcements, and the urgency to promulgate the Recovery Asset Act.Keyword: Recovery; Proceed of Corruption; HeirsABSTRAKPerangkat hukum pidana dalam mengembalikan aset hasil tindak pidana korupsi pada saat ini mengalami kekeliruan paradigma karena hanya mengandalkan uang pengganti kejahatan korupsi yang terkandung dalam Pasal 18 Undang-Undang Nomor 31 Tahun 1999 Tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi sebagaimana telah diubah dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2001, di mana Pengembalian harta atau kekayaan hanya ditujukan kepada terpidana. Padahal modus menyembunyikan harta kekayaan hasil korupsi biasanya dengan menggunakan sanak keluarga, kerabat dekat atau orang kepercayaannya termasuk para ahli warisnya. Hambatan pengembalian aset tindak pidana korupsi disebabkan belum efektifnya gugatan perdata sebagai sarana untuk mengembalikan aset hasil kejahatan korupsi, kelembagaan penegak hukum, belum efektifnya Ratifikasi UNCAC 2003 dilaksanakan dalam hukum Indonesia, serta kelemahan di ranah regulasi tindak pidana korupsi. Konsep hukum mendatang dalam pengembalian aset tindak pidana korupsi pelaku dan ahli warisnya dalam mewujudkan negara hukum kesejahteraan, setidaknya ditempuh dalam beberapa langkah hukum progresif, yakni perbaikan regulasi peraturan perundang-undangan, optimalisasi Bantuan Hukum Timbal Balik, Perluasan kewenangan Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi dalam Pengembalian Aset hasil tindak pidana korupsi, Penguatan koordinasi antar lembaga penegak hukum, serta menyegerakan menyelesaikan Undang-Undang Pengembalian Aset.Kata Kunci: Pengembalian; Aset Korupsi; Ahli Waris

This article examines the provisions for international cooperation in the un Convention against Transnational Organised Crime (untoc) and their effectiveness in achieving the untoc’s goal of promoting effective cooperation in the prevention and combating of transnational organised crime. It is a response to the growing sense that the untoc is not as effective a tool as promised, which sense is exacerbated by the absence of a functional review mechanism for the untoc. The article notes the delimitation of the scope of the untoc based on organised crime groups that participate in serious transnational crime. It then goes on to describe the untoc’s provisions for informal law enforcement cooperation, mutual legal assistance, international cooperation in asset recovery and extradition, and examines what little evidence there is of the implementation of these provisions. It concludes that the untoc appears to be have been more successful as a tool for promoting informal rather than formal cooperation, and speculates as to why this may be so.

Corrupted state assets certainly hurt the country narrowly, but also broadly where it harms the country and its people. However, the formal approach through the current criminal procedure law has not been able to recover the losses suffered by the state. In fact, state losses resulting from corruption are state assets that must be saved. Then there needs to be a new breakthrough to recover state losses through the asset recovery model. When looking at the country from the perspective of the victims, the state must obtain protection, in this case recovery from the losses suffered due to corruption. This paper examines the model of returning assets resulting from corruption in the law enforcement process that focuses on the rule of law in the 2003 UNCAC Convention and the mechanism of returning state assets in terms of Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning amendments to Law No. 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crimes.

Globalized World

This contribution focuses on the modalities of mutual legal assistance and extradition from a South African perspective. The question is posed whether South Africa has succeeded to establish the required framework as a fully fledged member of the international community to make a positive contribution in the fields of mutual legal assistance and extradition subsequent to its international political isolation during the apartheid era. Although the international community derives substantial benefit from a borderless global world, it has as a result also to deal with the negative impact of globalization on international crime. Physical and/or electronic crimes are increasingly committed across borders and may be described as borderless, but law enforcement (combating, investigation and prosecution of crime) is still very much confined to the borders of a state. Criminal networks have taken advantage of the opportunities resulting from the dramatic changes in world politics, business, technology, communications and the explosion in international travel and effectively utilize these opportunities to avoid and hamper law enforcement investigations. As a sovereign state has control over its own territory it also implies that states should not interfere with each other’s domestic affairs. The correct and acceptable procedure would be for a state (requesting state) to apply to another state (requested state) for co-operation in the form of mutual legal assistance regarding the gathering of evidence and/or extradition of the perpetrator. Co-operation between states are governed by public international law between the requesting and requested state and the domestic law of the requested state. The South African legislature has increasingly provided for extraterritorial jurisdiction of South African courts in respect of organized crime and terrorism. It does however appear that existing criminal justice responses are experiencing challenges to meet the demands of sophisticated international criminal conduct. Mutual legal assistance and extradition provisions may show that the world is becoming smaller for fugitives and criminals, but the processes are far from expeditious and seamless. An overview of the South African law pertaining to mutual legal assistance and extradition indicates that the South African legislative framework and policies as well as international treaties make sufficient provision to render international assistance in respect of mutual legal assistance and extradition. The role of the courts in upholding the rule of law and protecting the constitutionally enshrined bill of rights, is indicative of the important function that the judiciary fulfills in this regard. It is important that extradition is not only seen as the function of the executive as it also involves the judiciary. It appears that South Africa has displayed the necessary commitment to normalize its international position since 1994 and to fulfill its obligations in a globalized world by reaching across borders in an attempt to address international criminal conduct.

Criminal Matters

One of the unresolved legal issues in Indonesia is corruption. The problem of law enforcement is not yet optimal so that the assets resulting from criminal acts of corruption which are often in excess of national territory make it difficult to return. Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters, abbreviated as MLA, which is expected to help law enforcement is not yet optimal. Indonesia, as a participant country of the United Nations Convention Againts Corruption (UNCAC), does not yet have a regulatory framework that comprehensively regulates the aspects recommended by the convention. This study aims to find out about efforts and mechanisms to optimize the role of MLA in the recovery of assets resulting from criminal acts of corruption in Indonesia, especially those abroad. This research is a normative juridical research conducted by library research and interviews with informants related to the legislation and comparison approach. This article concludes that optimizing the role of MLA requires several steps such as implementing MLA in a more detailed technical format, optimizing the role of law enforcement as the implementer and adopting the concept of Non-Conviction Based Asset Forfeiture (NCB). Abstrak Salah satu persoalan hukum yang belum terselesaikan di Indonesia adalah korupsi. Masalah belum optimalnya penegakan hukum hingga aset hasil tindak pidana korupsi yang seringkali berada melampaui batas wilayah negara sehingga menyulitkan pengembalianya acapkali menjadi persoalan tersendiri. Pelaksanaan kerjasama Bantuan Hukum Timbal Balik (Mutual Legal Assistance) disingkat MLA yang diharapkan membantu penegak hukum pun dirasa belum optimal. Sebagai negara peserta United Nations Convention Againts Corruption (UNCAC), Indonesia belum memiliki kerangka regulasi yang mengatur secara komprehensif aspek-aspek yang direkomendasikan konvensi tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tentang upaya dan mekanisme optimalisasi peran MLA dalam pengembalian aset hasil tindak pidana korupsi di Indonesia terutama yang berada di luar negeri. Artikel ini merupakan hasil penelitian yuridis normatif yang dilakukan dengan cara studi kepustakaan dan wawancara terhadap narasumber terkait, dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan perbandingan. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa untuk optimalisasi peran MLA diperlukan beberapa langkah seperti menerapkan MLA dalam format teknis yang lebih detail, optimalisasi peran penegak hukum sebagai pelaksananya, dan adopsi konsep Non-Conviction Based Asset Forfeiture (NCB) sebagai muatan substansi MLA.

The chapter first outlines the scope and elements of international cooperation in criminal matters before discussing international cooperation in criminal matters and human rights. It then considers the principle of mutual recognition, new international cooperation instruments such as extradition, and enforcement of criminal sentences and measures. In particular, it examines the transfer of convicted persons and enforcement of prison sentences, along with enforcement of pecuniary sanctions and asset recovery.

This chapter briefly explains the reasons that Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLATs) and other forms of trans-border access to electronic data are vital and becoming increasingly more so for law enforcement in this age of globalized evidence. It then presents the goals of key stakeholders in MLAT reform: national governments other than the United States; the US government, both for law enforcement and other goals; technology companies, such as email and social network providers; and civil society, seeking goals including privacy, free speech, and democracy. This chapter is part of a broader research and law reform project on law enforcement access to electronic evidence held in other nations. Our ultimate goal is to propose reforms (or meaningful alternatives) to the Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) system. Any such reforms, however, will have to be built on an accurate understanding of the incentives and perspectives of the major stakeholders.

The author describes the conditions and peculiarities of committing corruption-related offenses in the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan and proposes universal methods and tools for detecting corruption crimes in government and management bodies. The paper reflects possible ways to reduce the latency of corruption crimes, among which the author highlights the strengthening of theoretical and legal training of law enforcement officers, the involvement of experts at the stage of a preliminary investigation, the exclusion of the creation of additional structures, bodies, documents in the fight against corruption offenses and crimes. To reduce corruption risks, the author proposes to introduce an open information system of document flow between the law enforcement agencies for receiving appeals about the facts of corruption offences and crimes. The issue of confidentiality and protection of an applicant remains open if the appeal concerns corruption in law enforcement agencies. The author proposes other methods of detecting corruption crimes in government and management bodies by improving operational and investigative activities. The author proposed to supplement part 3.1 of Article 17 of the law “Concerning the State Civil Service” with the words both about the possible business activities (including the activities of a self-employed) of a former state civil servant and the prohibition of such activities for his/her close relatives to exclude the jobbery. It is proposed article 13.3 of the law “Concerning Combating Corruption” should exclude the obligation for organizations to develop anti-corruption documents while maintaining the advisory nature of these actions since the current legislation does not provide for liability for the absence of such documents.
