Construction of Law Enforcement Against Money Laundering Crime With Cyber Laundering Mode

Abstract

If it is understood that all economic crimes (financial crimes) will lead to money laundering, then there should also be a lot of UUTPPU applications for economic crime cases. But in reality the court’s decision on financial crimes related to UUTPPU is not up to 20 decisions, even though the economic crimes that reached the court were very large (especially those that are still in the investigation stage, the number is far more), namely corruption, banking crime, illegal logging, smuggling and others. Based on these data, it can be imagined how long a case must be settled through a judicial process. Not infrequently a criminal case requires three to six years to get a decision. The problem does not stop here, although the decision has been obtained, it is likely that the parties who are dissatisfied with the decision will submit other legal remedies such as appeal or reconsideration. When added up, the total time needed for a decision to have permanent legal force is fifteen to twenty years. Various technological advances were then anticipated with the birth of Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions and subsequently written ITE Law. Information, Documents and Electronic Signature Arrangements are set forth in Articles 5 through 12 of the ITE Law. In general, it is said that Electronic Information, and/or Electronic Documents, and/or printouts, are valid legal evidence, which is an extension of legal evidence in accordance with the applicable Procedure Law in Indonesia. Likewise, Electronic Signatures have legal force and legal effect. However, the making of an electronic signature must meet the specified requirements. The threat of using information technology to encourage money laundering has been recognized by many. Professor of Information Technology at the University of Paramadina, Marsudi W. Kisworo stressed that currently the world is trying to fight money laundering through the Internet media, and even the biggest crime on the Internet is money laundering with a percentage of more than 30% of cybercrime.
