Abstract

The crime of corruption is a form of extraordinary crime that has a broad impact on various aspects of the life of the nation and state. Corruption not only harms state finances but also weakens the legal system, damages social order, and hampers national development. This research aims to analyze the factors that cause corruption, the effectiveness of law enforcement against perpetrators of corruption, and the obstacles faced in the effort to eradicate it. Using the normative juridical method and qualitative approach, this study examines relevant laws and regulations, court decisions, and other secondary data. The results show that despite many efforts, such as the establishment of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and strengthening regulations, corruption is still rampant due to the weak integrity of the apparatus, ineffective supervision, and a culture of permissiveness in society. The results showed that in several pretrial decisions, judges stated that the determination of a suspect was invalid because it was only based on one piece of evidence or evidence that had not been procedurally verified. In addition, it was also found that the non-fulfilment of investigation procedures, such as the absence of a proper summons or the absence of a case title, was also taken into consideration by judges in cancelling the status of a suspect. These findings indicate the importance of professionalism and prudence of law enforcement officials in carrying out the investigation function, especially in corruption cases that have a major impact on public trust.
