Abstract
This research is entitled "Additional Criminal Penalties Can Be Used as a Substitute in Corruption Cases". The type of research used in this research is normative, namely by basing it on the applicable laws and regulations (positive law) using the approach of laws and regulations and conceptual. Where all the legal materials collected, both primary legal materials and secondary legal materials, will be processed and analyzed systematically, which are presented in the form of descriptions related to the theory or legal principles so as to obtain a clear conclusion and picture in the discussion of the problem. Based on the research as mentioned, the discussion can be produced: additional criminal penalties in the form of replacement money, especially in district court decisions, it can be concluded that the legality of additional criminal penalties in the form of replacement money in corruption cases lies in Article 18 of Law No. 31 of 1999 which has been improved by Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law No. 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption. As for the benchmark for its determination, it is contained in Article 18 paragraph (1) letter b. which reads "payment of replacement money as much as possible equal to the assets obtained from the criminal act of corruption". Related to the definition of state financial losses which is one of the important elements in the article regulating criminal acts of corruption, it can be concluded that "a reduction in state assets or an increase in state obligations without being balanced by achievements caused by 'unlawful' acts". The Judge's Consideration in the district court's decision can be said to be less relevant when associated with additional penalties in the verdict in the form of replacement money. This is because the relationship between the considerations and the verdict pronounced by the Judge is 'blurred', as well as the amount of additional penalties in the form of replacement money that does not correspond to the amount of state financial losses contained in his considerations.
