Law Enforcement On The Criminal Acts Of Money Laundering In Corruption Cases From The Perspective Of Criminal Law And Islamic Law In The Jambi Regional Police

Abstract

This thesis examines the law enforcement of money laundering crimes originating from corruption cases from the perspectives of criminal law and Islamic law at the Regional Police of Jambi Province. Money laundering has become a serious transnational crime that threatens economic stability, weakens public trust in financial institutions, and disrupts national development. The study focuses on the implementation of law enforcement against money laundering offenses, the obstacles encountered in the enforcement process, and the analysis of such crimes from the perspective of Islamic criminal law. The data were collected through library research consisting of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. The analysis was conducted qualitatively by examining statutory regulations, legal doctrines, scholarly opinions, and relevant legal theories concerning money laundering and corruption crimes. The findings reveal that law enforcement against money laundering in corruption cases has been implemented through various legal instruments, including Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes. However, several obstacles remain, such as limited coordination among law enforcement agencies, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, weak public participation, and difficulties in tracing illicit financial transactions. From the perspective of Islamic law, money laundering is categorized as a jarimah ta’zir because it constitutes an unlawful act involving the concealment of illicit wealth, which endangers public welfare and violates the principles of justice and honesty in Islam. Therefore, effective law enforcement and moral responsibility are essential to combat money laundering and corruption comprehensively.
