LEGAL ASPECT OF EVIDENCE MANAGEMENT IN CORRUPTION CRIMES: AN OVERVIEW
Main Article Content
Abstract
Management of confiscated productive assets is a challenge in evidence handling from criminal proceeds such as corruption and money laundering. This study aimed to identify the essence of asset confiscation in corruption crimes, to evaluate the model of confiscated asset management in the corruption proceeds, to study the urgency of managing confiscated asset, and to formulate the management of confiscated assets, particularly the productive assets in the handling corruption cases in Indonesia. The research carried out through literature study. The objects include the regulations, journals and books. The research found that management of confiscated assets is important from two perspectives: to avoid asset value depreciation and to improve asset usefulness. However, currently the regulations needed to conduct management (and utilization) of confiscated assets is still lacking. Management of confiscated assets is limited to safekeeping and maintenance. Management and utilization of confiscated productive assets is expected to benefit the nation, such as to improve recovery potential of the nation’s losses. However, several considerations need to be taken into account in managing the confiscated assets, including the funding and organizational capacity. Therefore, a proper strategy formulation is needed to carry out appropriate management practice for the confiscated assets, such as: determining management priorities, arrangement of legal policies, directives and organizational structures.
