Keywords: reversal of burden of proof, caught red-handed, reporting mechanism .

In an effort to strengthen the eradication of corruption, impoverishment punishment is proposed as a progressive approach that aims to provide a deterrent effect and restore state losses. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the application of impoverishment punishment in handling corruption in Indonesia. The method used is a juridical-sociological approach, by examining applicable regulations and the impact of their application in practice.The results of the study show that impoverishment punishment has great potential in reducing corruption rates, especially with the confiscation of assets from crime which can reduce the motivation of perpetrators to commit corruption.

Extraordinary Crime is a label given to the crime of corruption. This is because corruption can hamper the economic life of the nation and state. Therefore, the eradication of corruption cannot be handled in the usual way but through an extraordinary handling. Corruption is a serious problem that can threaten the continuity of the Indonesian nation, coupled with the fact that the perpetrators of corruption are officials of government agencies who have a duty to foster and serve the community for the fulfillment of justice and public welfare. One of the easy targets for people who commit corruption, namely officials of government agencies in launching their actions, is the procurement sector of government goods and services. As happened in the procurement of shallot seeds in Malaka Regency in the 2018 fiscal year involving government agency officials and private parties.The problem formulations in this study are: (1) Factors causing corruption in the procurement of government goods and services, namely the procurement of shallot seeds in Malaka Regency (2) The impact of corruption in the procurement of shallot seeds in Malaka Regency (3) Countermeasures to improve the process of procurement of government goods and services in Malaka Regency.The writing of this thesis uses a type of juridical-empirical research with a case approach method, so that it is based on applicable laws and regulations and data obtained in the field. The case approach taken in this research is related to the corruption case of shallot procurement in Malacca Regency in the 2018 fiscal year.The results of the study show that the factors causing corruption in the procurement of shallot seeds in Malaka Regency are the intention of the defendants, the existence of authority and the opportunity for corruption. The impact of corruption in the procurement of shallot seeds in Malaka Regency is a state loss of Rp. 4,770,725,000.00 (four billion seven hundred seventy million seven hundred twenty-five thousand rupiah), not only limited to state losses but also losses felt by the community and government agencies involved in the corruption case of shallot seed procurement, namely the Government Goods / Services Procurement Section at the Regional Secretariat of Malaka Regency and also the Agriculture and Food Security Office of Malaka Regency. Therefore, efforts to eradicate corruption in the procurement of goods and services of the Malaka district government are not only carried out by the government alone, but also involve the active role of the community in preventing corruption in the government goods/services procurement sector and also countermeasures involving cooperation between the Malaka district government and the Malaka district police.

One of the roles of the Bank Perekonomian Rakyat (BPR) is to provide credit to improve the economic welfare of the lower middle class through micro and small business services. However, the provision of BPR credit is prone to misappropriation, one of which is used as an election campaign fund. This research is a legal research in analyzing the problem using literature study which is analyzed qualitatively. The results obtained from this research are that the misuse of BPR credit used as campaign funding can be suspected of being a criminal act of corruption and money laundering because it is obtained from state finances and there are indications of disguising and hiding money. The source of state finances provided to BPRs can be viewed in terms of state capital participation in the form of securities and the provision of facilities provided by the government. In anticipating campaign funds originating from criminal acts, the Badan Pengawas Pemilu must cooperate with other parties such as the Public Accounting Office to conduct campaign fund audits and related law enforcement officials such as the Pusat Penelusuran dan Analisis Transaksi Keuangan and the Corruption Eradication Commission to prevent and prosecute the use of money from corruption crimes for campaign funding.

The results of the discussion in this study show that, (1). The Waigete  Health Center uses the Due Process Model which emphasizes the need to ensure that every individual has the right to be treated fairly and has access to an independent court including investigation, prosecution, and fair justice. and the right to appeal, but with strict legal procedures, this model slows down the process of resolving cases.  The crime eradication process focuses more on the interests of the rights of suspects than on the public interest, so according to researchers in the process of resolving corruption cases, this model is not appropriate to use because it emphasizes justice and human rights but also has the potential to slow down the legal process. (2). The factors that hinder law enforcement in handling corruption cases of the Waigete Health Center development fund consist of two factors, namely internal factors, namely the lack of prosecutors who slow down the law enforcement process and reduce the effectiveness of case handling, and external factors, namely the slow examination process and the loss calculation process so as to hinder law enforcement.

But specifically Article 21, Article 22 and Article 23, the proof of his actions does not have to be a state loss because the qualification of the crime is a formal crime, not a material crime, so the change in mindset of the regulation and qualification of the crime in Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption from formal to material is only for Article 2 and Article 3. Criminal liability of the General Chairperson of the Anti-Corruption People's Alliance (ARAKSI) for committing a criminal act, with the existence of an unlawful act seen from the qualification of the regulation of the criminal act, then violating Article 23 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption

Corruption is one of the major problems that hinder development and prosperity in Indonesia. In Batam City, the handling of corruption crimes is often not optimal, especially in the aspect of recovering illegally obtained assets. The Non-Conviction Based Asset Forfeiture (NCBAF) mechanism is one of the instruments that is expected to accelerate the process of recovering state losses without having to wait for criminal punishment. This research aims to assist in the regulation of NCBAF laws and standards in resolving corruption crimes in Batam City, as well as identify the obstacles faced and efforts that can be made to optimize their implementation. The research methods used are normative juridical and empirical juridical. The normative juridical approach is carried out by reviewing relevant regulations, including Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes, as well as related literature. The empirical juridical approach is carried out through case studies and interviews with law enforcement officials in Batam City. The results of the study show that although the NCBAF has been regulated in the regulations, its implementation in Batam City still faces various obstacles, such as lack of coordination between law enforcement agencies, high standards of proof, unclear legal procedures, and limited resources and technical capacity of the apparatus. Examples of corruption in infrastructure assistance, embezzlement of social funds, and corruption in the procurement of goods and services show that assets suspected of originating from criminal acts often cannot be immediately confiscated and utilized by the state. To overcome these obstacles, this study suggests increased coordination between law enforcement agencies through the formation of special teams, the preparation of clear standard operating procedures (SOPs), intensification of training for law enforcement officials, increased international cooperation, and community campaigns to increase public awareness and support. With these steps, the NCBAF is expected to become a more effective instrument in eradicating corruption and recovering state losses in Batam City.

Extraordinary crimes such as corruption have a wide impact on the political, economic, and social sectors, so that eradicating them is a top priority for the Indonesian government. The government has established various policies to combat corruption, one of which is through Law No. 31 of 1999 which was amended to Law No. 20 of 2001. However, the implementation of this law has not been optimal, with many corruption cases that have not been handled and inadequate recovery of state financial losses. To overcome this, the government has reformed the criminal law through Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (KUHP), which is expected to provide a deterrent effect and recover state losses. This paper analyzes the reform of criminal law related to corruption by comparing the previous Corruption Law with the new Criminal Code. This study uses a normative legal approach method, qualitative descriptive research specifications, literature study data collection methods and qualitative data analysis methods. The results of this study are that the reform of criminal law is expected to increase the effectiveness of corruption eradication, but the new Criminal Code raises concerns.

Thus, legal reform through the new Criminal Code needs to be evaluated to ensure that these steps truly support effective corruption eradication.
