Abstract

Corruption is a very bad crime that hurts the state's finances and the health of the people. This study aims to analyze the law enforcement process pertaining to self-enrichment and/or the enrichment of others in corruption-related offenses within the Maluku archipelago, focusing on the geographical characteristics and structural elements that influence the effectiveness of its administration. The questions examined are: How effectively does law enforcement mitigate corruption offenses such as self-enrichment and the enrichment of others in the Maluku archipelago?

The research methodology utilized is normative legal research, incorporating a statutory approach, a conceptual framework, and a case analysis, specifically referencing the Corruption Criminal Court Decision from the Ambon District Court, Number 22/Pid.Sus-TPK/2024/PN.Amb. The study's results show that legal tools are generally enough, but things like the legal system, the culture of the law, and the lack of proper facilities and infrastructure in the archipelago still make law enforcement less effective. This study finds that improving communication between law enforcement agencies, improving internal oversight of local governments, and giving law enforcement officials in the archipelago more tools are all important for making anti-corruption efforts more effective.
