Abstract

Corruption is an act of abuse of power that harms the state for personal gain, corruption is part of an extraordinary criminal offense which ironically has become a cultural problem in Indonesia. Fighting a culture of corruption is a serious challenge in an effort to build a just and integrity society. Law enforcement against corruption in Indonesia is still far from ideal. Character education and the implementation of moral values are still quite low. The Draft Law on Asset Forfeiture comes as a solution to narrow the space for perpetrators. This research shows that the Draft Asset Forfeiture Law has juridical components that are expected to be able to provide heavier punishment to corruptors, and become a legal instrument that strengthens the enforcement of moral values in bureaucratic practices in Indonesia.
