Authority of Police Investigations in Corporate Corruption Cases in Indonesia

Aris Purwanto, Dr. Eriyantouw Wahid, Dr. Hermansyah

Abstract: This study examines the role and authority of the Indonesian National Police in enforcing laws against corporations involved in corruption. Despite their legal mandate, police investigators rarely handle corporate corruption cases due to procedural and competency challenges. Using a normative qualitative approach, the research analyzes the gaps in law enforcement and recommends adopting procedural reforms, such as aligning police regulations with Supreme Court guidelines. The study emphasizes the need for enhancing the capacity of police investigators to tackle corruption crimes involving corporations. This research employs a positivist paradigm and a sociological jurisdical approach, and a descriptive research type. Types and sources of data use secondary materials in the form of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials. Data collection methods use literature and qualitative analysis methods. The conclution of this research is that the research highlights the gaps in law enforcement against corporate corruption in Indonesia, particularly the limited role of the National Police. Despite their legal authority, police investigators rarely tackle corporate corruption due to a lack of clear procedures and insufficient training. The study suggests procedural reforms, such as adopting Supreme Court regulations and providing specialized training for investigators, to enhance their capacity in handling corporate crimes.
