Money laundering is a process of disguising the origin of money obtained from an unlawful activity making it appear as if it came from legal or legitimate activities. In its development, money laundering is not only carried out by individuals but is carried out through corporations systematically, government efforts in returning assets resulting from money laundering in the form of seizure of assets belonging to corporations or corporate controlling personnel which are then used as corporate liability measures are considered to have not been effective and not optimal. The research method uses Sociology research with an empirical approach. The purpose of this study is to find out how corporate criminal law is accountable for law enforcement of money laundering in Indonesia. The results showed that money laundering can lead to criminal liability. Criminal liability to corporations is regulated in Article 6 and can apply sanctions as stipulated in Article 7 to Article 9 of Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes. The seizure of corporate assets and corporate controlling personnel has not been effective, so there is a need for a legal concept that does not only look at legal documents but must pay attention to legal compliance, justice, and benefits for the community.
