CORRUPTION ERADICATION COMMISSION (KPK) IN

By
SARWO EDY

The process in prosecuting money laundering crime case has been Corruption
Eradication Commission (KPK) authority. KPK in conducting its job is independent
in free from any influence of power by other parties, so that investigation and
prosecution of money laundering case will be conducted in one institution. The
problem statement in this research was how did the mechanism of prosecution by
KPK prosecutor and how did the mechanism of prosecution by KPK prosecutor in
money laundering crime cases.
This research used normative and empirical jurisdiction approaches. This research
used primary and secondary data collected from literary research and from field
study. The data analysis drew conclusion deductively based on thinking reality with
common characteristic and then concluding specifically.
The results showed that the prosecution mechanism could be exercised after the case
documents were completed. KPK general prosecutor immediately made indictment to
be submitted into the Court. The KPK general prosecutor made indictment based on
Investigation Report. The KPK general prosecutor in uncovering money laundering
crime would not be separated from investigation process according to Article 74 and
75 of Act Number 8 in 2010 about prevention and eradication of money laundering
crime. He prosecutor in making indictment should be cumulative. The problems
started from prosecuting was not simple. First, should the case be proved both the
corruption and its money laundering cases, or should it be enough to be proved for
the money laundering case without proving the origin of previous causal crime.

The researcher suggests that there should be more intensive coordination between
investigators and prosecutors in KPK so that prosecution process would be running
better to eradicate corruption crime in Indonesia. In prosecuting by KPK prosecutor,
it should involve public and government. The main and existing system of Criminal
Code Procedure (KUHAP) should be changed, so that it would be suitable with
present condition in Indonesia.
