This study aims to determine the criminal law policy in the return of state financial losses in the form of replacement payments by corruption convicts and to determine the efforts made by police investigators in overcoming obstacles to the return of state financial losses in the form of replacement payments by corruption convicts. The method used in this study is a qualitative method, with a normative legal approach as the main approach and empirical legal as a supporting approach. The data sources in this study were obtained from secondary data as the main data and primary data as supporting data. Furthermore, the data were then processed using qualitative methods. The results of the study obtained information that the criminal payment of replacement money has been regulated in Law No. 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001. The amount of replacement money payment is the same as the assets obtained from the crime of corruption. If the replacement money is not paid, the convict is sentenced to imprisonment for a period not exceeding the maximum threat of the principal sentence. Therefore, the return of state financial losses cannot be optimal. The amount of compensation for state financial losses needs to be increased, by confiscating and seizing the perpetrator's assets/wealth. The Asset Confiscation Law needs to be formed as a legal basis for confiscating assets from corruption.

Corruption in Indonesia has spread like a virus since the 1960s and has harmed not only the victims of this crime, but also the national economy. The government is trying to eradicate such crimes, namely law enforcement, but the problem persists. Standard legal research methods were used in the current study. A statutory approach was used to consider the termination of an investigation as a basis for filing an earlier trial by a third party whose data was collected from a library review. To analyze the data, the researcher examined the materials obtained for further processing. As a result, it was revealed that there is still a huge gap between law enforcement officials and those who suffer from corruption cases. The pretrial complaint mechanism still leaves ambiguity in the hearts of victims because it has not been effective. Therefore, based on the findings, we recommend that law enforcement officials implement some serious and clear eradication mechanisms to reduce corruption and victims in Indonesia.

Corruption in Indonesia is a chronic problem that damages the social and economic structure of the country. This paper explores the history of corruption from feudal times to the modern era, highlighting corrupt practices as part of the culture of government. The government has taken serious steps by establishing anti-corruption regulations and institutions to eradicate corruption that harms society and the state.

Measures to improve governance and increase transparency are key to preventing corruption. Challenges include organized corruption, corrupt practices in the private sector, and non-compliance with regulations. Lack of resources is a constraint, and corruption in complex bureaucratic systems complicates case handling. Improving coordination, transparency, and public participation is needed to overcome these challenges.
