Abstrak

This thesis discusses the law enforcement of money laundering crimes arising from corruption cases from the perspectives of criminal law and Islamic law within the jurisdiction of the Regional Police of Jambi Province. Money laundering is considered a serious organized crime that threatens economic stability, weakens public trust in financial institutions, and negatively affects national development. The study aims to analyze the implementation of law enforcement against money laundering offenses, identify the obstacles encountered in the enforcement process, and examine money laundering from the perspective of Islamic criminal law. This research employs a normative juridical method with a descriptive-analytical approach. The study relies on primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials obtained through library research, supported by field research through interviews with relevant respondents. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively to provide a comprehensive understanding of the legal issues related to money laundering crimes. The findings indicate that the enforcement of laws against money laundering crimes has been conducted through the application of various legal instruments and criminal justice mechanisms. However, several obstacles remain, including weak coordination among law enforcement agencies, difficulties in tracing illicit financial transactions, limited facilities and infrastructure, and low public awareness regarding financial crimes. From the perspective of Islamic law, money laundering is categorized as jarimah ta’zir because it involves concealing unlawful wealth and violates Islamic principles prohibiting the acquisition and use of property through unlawful means. Therefore, stronger law enforcement, institutional cooperation, and moral responsibility are necessary to combat money laundering and corruption effectively.
