Confiscation of Assets of Corruption as an Effort to Recover State Losses

Abstract

Corruption, which is increasing day by day, has a great impact on the state's economic and financial losses, becoming one of the important focuses in the implementation of the law in Indonesia which is expected to reduce and provide lessons to the perpetrators. Sanctions in the form of prison confinement are considered less effective in providing lessons for corruptors. There needs to be other sanctions alternatives that can have a good fear effect for the perpetrators. The Malang District Attorney's Office as the authorized institution in prosecuting turns out to have the authority to confiscate assets obtained from the proceeds of corruption. The confiscation of assets in corruption cases carried out early in the investigation stage is the first step for the return of state losses.
