Article Main Content

Due to the discrepancy between the requirements of Article 74 of Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of the Crime of Money Laundering, Civil Servant Investigators have not been able to investigate money laundering crimes, such as those in the environmental, forestry, and marine sectors. This decision of the Constitutional Court Number 15/PUU-XIX/2021 has opened up opportunities for predicate crime investigators to investigate money laundering crimes. This study’s goal is to analyze how the Constitutional Court’s ruling may affect future law enforcement efforts to combat the crime of money laundering. The normative research method was used in this study, with a statutory, conceptual, and case approach. The study’s findings indicate that by broadening the definition of investigator in Article 74 of the Money Laundering Law, it is envisaged that it will lead to more productive outcomes in the fight against money laundering, particularly in terms of implementing a criminal handling system based on the principles of simplicity, speed, and low cost.

Keywords: constitutional court decisions, implications, law enforcement, money laundering.
