Legal protection justice collaborators in corruption justice system

Abstract

Corruption is a crime that is difficult to eradicate because the perpetrators of corruption usually have a strong economic and political position so that corruption is classified as a white-collar crime, crimes as business, economic crimes, official crime, and abuse of power. The purpose of this research is to know the urgency of providing legal protection for witnesses to perpetrators who are willing to cooperate with law enforcement in the investigation of Corruption Crimes. This research is normative legal research using the statute approach, philosophical approach, and case approach. The results can be explained that the urgency of providing legal protection for perpetrators of witnesses who are willing to cooperate with law enforcement in the investigation of Corruption Crimes because Justice Collaborator is the main actor who can help uncover a crime because it has the potential to have evidence to drag the main perpetrator and other suspects in. Third, the future arrangements for perpetrator witnesses who are willing to cooperate with law enforcement still cannot be used as a strong legal basis regarding the right of commutation of sentence for Justice Collaborators in criminal justice by law enforcement officers and many have weaknesses, especially in terms of commutation of sentences for Justice Collaborators for their testimonies in assisting law enforcement officers but are only used as considerations by judges without any binding power that obliges judges to provide leniency.
