Abstract

Corruption is currently one of the many major challenges that must be faced by the Indonesian nation. To some extent, corruption not only threatens the environment, human rights, democratic institutions and basic rights and freedoms, but also hinders development and exacerbates poverty. Based on the results of the study, it is known that; The legal regulation of corruption in Indonesia is regulated in Law No. 31 of 1999 as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001. In addition to imprisonment and fines, this law also regulates additional sanctions such as revocation of political rights and confiscation of assets.
