Settlement of abuse of authority that caused state losses according to indonesian government administration law

Abstrak

State Financial Losses are the result of acts of misuse of the authority of the state apparatus which have an impact on not maximising
national development. This problem is also experienced by many countries and seeks to eradicate and minimise such events. Indonesia has
a national regulation, namely Law Number 30 of 2014, there is a growing assumption that in the abuse of authority that causes state
losses and the losses are returned the problem is over. In fact, according to Article 4 of Law Number 31 Year 1999, the return of state
losses does not eliminate criminal liability. This research examines how to resolve abuse of authority that harms state finances in the
perspective of government administration law and corruption offences. This research is a normative research that uses normative and
philosophical juridical analysis methods. The results of the study found that the return of state losses does not erase the criminal penalty.
The perpetrator must still be held criminally responsible for his actions. Administrative examination files are used as evidence in criminal
cases. In addition, the internal supervisory institution formed from the Government Administration Law which has the function of
supervising abuse of authority must coordinate with law enforcement agencies to enforce the law in eradicating acts that result in state
financial losses.
