MONEY LAUNDERING CRIME THROUGH E-MONEY TRANSACTIONS

Abstract

Nowadays, the crime of money laundering is increasing in various fields, both in terms of intensity and sophistication. Almost every day, print and electronic media news reports on the crime of money laundering, especially those committed by officials, both central and regional, with the main crime being corruption. Although there are many other crimes, such as narcotics (drugs), terrorism, trafficking in women and children, arms trafficking and other crimes, in Article 2 of Law 8 of 2010 concerning the Crime of Money Laundering, there are 26 points of crime that can be charged with the crime of money laundering. In its development, the crime of money laundering is increasingly complex, crosses jurisdictional boundaries, and uses increasingly varied modes, utilizes institutions outside the financial system, and has even penetrated into various sectors. Regulation of suspicious financial transactions with a modus operandi during the pandemic still requires the role of law enforcement officers in the reporting system for money laundering crimes as the Reporting Party for suspicious financial transactions as regulated in Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes, Government Regulation Number 61 of 2021 concerning Amendments to Regulation Number 43 of 2015 concerning the Reporting Party in the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes
