Abstract

This paper is inspired by circumstances where the level of corruption is increasing both in quantity and quality. Corruption is increasingly massive and widespread not only by executive, legislative but also law enforcement officials. Criminal sanctions imposed on corruptors are not optimal and are not affection to a deterrent effect, so it is considered unfair by the public. Therefore, a new penal law perspective is necessary, which is more likely to be in the form of impoverishment sanctions against corruptors. In Indonesia, within the positive criminal law, there is no provision of impoverishment against corruptors, thus there is a void of norms. We used normative juridical perspective comprising statute approach and conceptual approach to legislation with law enforcement and justice theories to examine two issues covering the urgency of impoverishment against corruptors and the legal arrangement of impoverishment against future corruptors in corruption eradication. The results showed that impoverishment sanctions against corruptors are urgently needed for the redemption of state finances looted by corruptors for the welfare of the people.
