Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Chairman of the Indonesian House of\nRepresentatives (DPR) Legislative Body, Bob Hasan, stated that law\nenforcement regarding state losses must provide legal certainty and\nsatisfy the sense of justice. He noted that the issue of state losses in\nthe context of law enforcement is currently a subject of significant\ndiscourse, particularly following the Constitutional Court Decision\nNumber 28\/PUU-XXIV\/2026 concerning the institutions authorised to\ncalculate state losses.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeyond the fact that the state must enforce the law, the legal\nregulations themselves must truly be present to satisfy the sense of\njustice and legal certainty,\u201d Bob said at the parliamentary complex,\nJakarta, on Monday. He noted that the spirit of Articles 603-604 of the\nnew Criminal Code (KUHP) emphasises that state losses refer to\nadvantages gained by individuals or the reduction of the state\u2019s economy\nor finances.<\/p>\n
In this regard, he believes that the enforcement of laws concerning\nstate losses remains a matter of interest for all parties, including the\nDPR, the Indonesian National Police, the Attorney General\u2019s Office, the\nSupreme Court, and others. Consequently, the Legislative Body has\ninvited Professor Dr Romli Atmasasmita, a Professor of Law at\nPadjadjaran University, to analyse the dualism and disparity in legal\ninterpretation between Articles 2 and 3 of the Anti-Corruption Law and\nArticles 603 and 604 of the new Criminal Code.<\/p>\n
He further noted that Constitutional Court Decision Number 28 has led\nto the issuance of a Circular Letter from the Attorney General\u2019s Office,\nwhich emphasises that auditors of state losses are not limited to the\nAudit Board of Indonesia (BPK). Meanwhile, the explanation in Article\n603 of the Criminal Code suggests that the calculation of state losses\nmust be performed exclusively by state institutions. \u201cThis is a dispute\nin my view; from any angle or perspective, it cannot be used as a reason\nfor multiple interpretations,\u201d he said. To address this, he stated that\ninput from various academics is necessary to provide a comprehensive\nanalysis for formulating recommendations for regulatory harmonisation or\na limited revision of the Anti-Corruption Law.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dpr-legislative-body-states-law-enforcement-regarding-state-losses-must-be-certain-and-just-1780922530", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
